[U-Boot] [PATCH v7 13/13] cmd: mtdparts: describe as legacy

[Miquel Raynal]

The 'mtdparts' command is not needed anymore. While the environment
variable is still valid (and useful), the command has been replaced by
'mtd' which is much more close to the MTD stack and do not add its own
specific glue. The 'mtdids' variable, only used by the 'mtdparts'
command is also useless if the right MTD device name is used in the
'mtdparts' variable.
