Yes. Gaurav, can we drop this symbol?

Thanks! I'll dig deeper, but it likes like maybe
CONFIG_MTD_OF_PARTS also.

Yes. Looking at the output from running this against all .dts
files has led to some interesting information.

An example of compatible = "none" is node mct@10050000 from
arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4210-universal_c210.dts

arch/x86/platform/ce4100/falconfalls.dts, node pci@3fc

That means that a _lot_ of garbage, bogus matches are reported,
creating a lot of noise in the report.

I will have to get back to you later on this question.

That is a concern that I have also. I added a warning flag in the
flags field to indicate when one of these hard-coded values was used.
The flag does not solve the issue, but does make it more visible.

The list is a result of running against every dts file in the kernel
tree and looking at the reports.
