mtd: ofpart: add compatible check for child nodes
In case that the nand device will support some features like Nand Flash
Controller, we want to make the sub feature as a sub node of nand device.
Use such organization it is easy to enable/disable feature, also it is back
compatible and more readable.
If the sub-node has a compatible property then it is a driver not partition.
