[PATCH 0/6] of: partition: add Linux CONFIG_OF_PARTITION-compatible adaptive fixup mode

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

barebox has for many years supported a superset of the upstream OF
partitions binding by parsing partitions out of SD/eMMC and EEPROM
in addition to MTD.

Unfortunately, we didn't upstream our binding and a different binding
went upstream into Linux v6.13-rc1 along with Linux commit
2e3a191e89f9 ("block: add support for partition table defined in OF").

Since then, if CONFIG_OF_PARTITION, which is disabled by default, is
enabled, Linux will ignore any GPT/MBR if an SD/eMMC node has a
fixed-partitions compatible subnode.

This is different from the barebox behavior, which allows both OF
partitions and GPT/MBR to co-exist as long as they don't conflict.

As many barebox boards:

  - Place the environment in non-partitioned space prior to the first
    partition

  - Fixup all fixed-partitions into the kernel device tree by default

this can result in breakage if a newer kernel is booted with
CONFIG_OF_PARTITION enabled.

To resolve this, this series introduces the barebox,fixed-partitions
compatible and uses that in Linux device tree fixups for SD/eMMC
by default.
