ping?

Maybe I should have added to the description that the Linux kernel 
allows MTD partitions to specify a size "0" in the device-tree to mean 
"the remainder". This patch makes u-boot compatible with the kernel's 
MTD partitions. U-boot MTDPARTS also supported this, but it's missing in 
the device-tree parser.
