Today's linux-next merge of the mtd tree got a conflict in:

drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c

between commit:

partitions code")

from the mtd-fixes tree and commit:

63db0cb35e1c ("mtd: core: simplify (a bit) code find
partition-matching dynamic OF node")

from the mtd tree.

I fixed it up (I just used the latter version) and can carry the fix as
necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any
non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer
when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider
cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any
particularly complex conflicts.

this isn't exactly the correct fix, of_node_get() is still needed.

I'll make sure we let Linus know about this conflict (and solution) when
sending 6.2 pull request.
