Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris: "General updates: - Cleanups and additional flash support for "dataflash" driver - new driver for mchp23k256 SPI SRAM device - improve handling of MTDs without eraseblocks (i.e., MTD_NO_ERASE) - refactor and improve "sub-partition" handling with TRX partition parser; partitions can now be created as sub-partitions of another partition SPINOR updates, from Cyrille Pitchen and Marek Vasut: - introduce support to the SPI 1-2-2 and 1-4-4 protocols. - introduce support to the Double Data Rate (DDR) mode. - introduce support to the Octo SPI protocols. - add support to new memory parts for Spansion, Macronix and Winbond. - add fixes for the Aspeed, STM32 and Cadence QSPI controler drivers. - clean up the st_spi_fsm driver. NAND updates, from Boris Brezillon: - addition of on-die ECC support to Micron driver - addition of helpers to help drivers choose most appropriate ECC settings - deletion of dead-code (cached programming and ->errstat() hook) - make sure drivers that do not support the SET/GET FEATURES command return ENOTSUPP use a dummy ->set/get_features implementation returning -ENOTSUPP (required for Micron on-die ECC) - change the semantic of ecc->write_page() for drivers setting the NAND_ECC_CUSTOM_PAGE_ACCESS flag - support exiting 'GET STATUS' command in default ->cmdfunc() implementations - change the prototype of ->setup_data_interface() A bunch of driver related changes: - various cleanup, fixes and improvements of the MTK driver - OMAP DT bindings fixes - support for ->setup_data_interface() in the fsmc driver - support for imx7 in the gpmi driver - finalization of the denali driver rework (thanks to Masahiro for the work he's done on this driver) - fix "bitflips in erased pages" handling in the ifc driver - addition of PM ops and dynamic timing configuration to the atmel driver" * tag 'for-linus-20170713' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd: (118 commits) Documentation: ABI: mtd: describe "offset" more precisely mtd: Fix check in mtd_unpoint() mtd: nand: mtk: release lock on error path mtd: st_spi_fsm: remove SPINOR_OP_RDSR2 and use SPINOR_OP_RDCR instead mtd: spi-nor: cqspi: remove duplicate const mtd: spi-nor: Add support for Spansion S25FL064L mtd: spi-nor: Add support for mx66u51235f mtd: nand: mtk: add ->setup_data_interface() hook mtd: nand: mtk: remove unneeded mtk_ecc_hw_init from mtk_ecc_resume mtd: nand: mtk: remove unneeded mtk_nfc_hw_init from mtk_nfc_resume mtd: nand: mtk: disable ecc irq when writing page with hwecc mtd: nand: mtk: fix incorrect register setting order about ecc irq mtd: partitions: fixup some allocate_partition() whitespace mtd: parsers: trx: fix pr_err format for printing offset MAINTAINERS: Update SPI NOR subsystem git repositories mtd: extract TRX parser out of bcm47xxpart into a separated module mtd: partitions: add support for partition parsers mtd: partitions: add support for subpartitions mtd: partitions: rename "master" to the "parent" where appropriate mtd: partitions: remove sysfs files when deleting all master's partitions ...

Description:
For a partition, the offset of that partition from the start
