Hello folks,

the patch below updates the Documentation/powerpc part of the MTD OF implementation with the new field probe-type. Its support has already been implemented in MTD part (drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c).

-       for the NOR flashes (compatible == "direct-mapped" and others) ONLY.
      - partitions : Several pairs of 32-bit values where the first value is

    Example:
 
  	flash at ff000000 {

  		partitions = <00000000 00f80000
