libdt: support "partitions" subnode on mtd devices
...
In case there is an additional "partitions" subnode between the device
itself and its partitions like /soc/spi@?/mram@?/partitions/partition@?
also try the parent of the parent before giving up finding the device
node.
See kernel docs for reference:

state: Remove -EUCLEAN check from userspace tool
...
The state code is used for the userspace tool aswell, kept in sync
manually. This patch only introduces a change for the userspace
tool, not for barebox.
In Linux userspace there is no direct possibility to check for -EUCLEAN.
To indirectly check for -EUCLEAN the state tool reads the number of
corrected bits before and after reading a block. Unfortunately it does
not take the number of acceptable bitflips into account, but instead
returns -EUCLEAN even when only a single bitflip occurred on a whole
page. To be correct the algorithm must be more complicated: We would
have to read the bitflip_threshold from sysfs. This value is per ECC
step (often 512 byte), not per page. We would have to read the page
in ECC step size chunks, testing for bitflips lower than the threshold
for each chunk. Even if we would do that, there's still another issue.
The eccstats ioctl delivers the eccstats for the whole device, so a
concurrent reader would falsify the result.
Let's decide that this is not worth the hassle and assume that no
device has enough uptime that a cleanup in barebox is not sufficient.

do when loading the state fails, so do not load it in the initialization
function, but instead let the caller do it.

barebox-state: make state_get() definition consistent to its prototype
...
In 2839d4f6f4 state_get() got an additional argument, but its prototype
in barebox-state.h was never adjusted. Include the file containing
the prototype from the file containing the function definition so that
this bug can be detected by the compiler. Also add the missing argument
to the callers.

state: Drop cache bucket
...
The cache bucket sits between the storage functions and the backend
storage. We only read from the storage once, so there is no need to cache
anything. The real purpose of the cache bucket is to keep the -EUCLEAN
information when a NAND block needs to be rewritten and to keep the read
buffers as long as the backend iterates over all buckets trying to find
the one we want to use.
This can be coded easier and more obvious in the backend code, so drop
the cache bucket.

state: drop lazy_init
...
lazy_init is an optimization that makes it possible to read only up to
the first valid bucket when starting. However, when restoring consistency,
immediately afterwards we have we have to initialize all buckets anyway,
so being lazy doesn't give us any gain. Remove it to simplify the code.

state: backend_circular: Read whole PEB
...
When the circular backend searches for the last page written in the
eraseblock, it iterates backwards pagewise from the end of the block.
This is ok for NAND flash, but on NOR flash, which does not have pages,
the code ends up iterating bytewise backwards, calling into mtd each
time. This is very time consuming, so optimize this by reading the whole
eraseblock once and just iterate over the buffer in memory.
