Hi! When trying next-20180116 I get the following panic during boot:

Up to now support for "fixed-partitions" DT compatibility string was working only with flash drivers that were specifying "ofpart" (manually or by letting mtd use the default set of parsers). This matches existing bindings documentation.

I'm using the arch/arm/boot/dts/at91-nattis-2-natte-2.dts device tree which for the record is kind of new in the upstream kernel, but I have been using that dts for a while previously. However, I'd put my money on at91-tse850-3.dts also being affected, and that one have been upstream for a while. Haven't tested the tse850 device tree though... Cheers, Peter
