Unit test results:
	pass: 592743 fail: 0

The test failures are all due to commit 0aa7b390fc40 ("mtd: core: always
create master device") which breaks mtd partitioning.

One side note: Various qemu machines configured to use Macronix flash chips
are no longer able to access the chips. This is primarily due to commit
947c86e481a0 ("mtd: spi-nor: macronix: Drop the redundant flash info
fields"). After that change, SFDP support for affected chips is mandatory,
and qemu does not or not correctly support that. This affects quanta-gsj,
kudo-bmc, ast2600-evb, and supermicro-x11spi-bmc machines (and possibly
others).
