Will change in the next version.

I am not sure I understand this. One thing that can be done is to move the
setting of the mtd partitions to the Kconfig file, on similar lines to what
is being done for the st platforms, e.g MTDPARTS_NOR0_TEE. I can move the
mtd partition definitions to the Kconfig file if that is what you are
asking for.
