As of commit e488ca9f8d4f62c2 ("doc: dt: mtd: partitions: add compatible property to "partitions" node"), the "partitions" subnode of an SPI FLASH device node must have a compatible property. The partitions are no longer detected if it is not present.

I marked this series as "RFC", as the abovementioned commit is not yet upstream. Ideally, the users should be fixed first, to avoid breakage.

It breaks bisectability in mainline.

The files you are fixing are not converted in mainline yet, are they?

I'd differ on the last sentence. It's more important to straighten out the release features for 4.4 than to make sure that linux-next has perfect DTS files. So I'll submit whenever ready :)

If the DTS changes go in first, bisectability is preserved.

Are you asking me to delay fixing the DT binding until 4.5, just because your for-next branches can't be fixed? IOW, you want me to release the bad DT binding for a whole cycle?
