currently used firmware MTD partition gets parsed.

+Subject: [PATCH] mtd: parsers: trx: parse "firmware" MTD partitions only
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Parsing every partition with "compatible" set to "brcm,trx" results in
+parsing both: firmware partition and failsafe partition on devices that
+implement failsafe booting. This affects e.g. Linksys EA9500 which has:
+
+partition@200000 {
+       reg = <0x0200000 0x01d00000>;
+       compatible = "linksys,ns-firmware", "brcm,trx";
+};
+
+partition@1f00000 {
+       reg = <0x01f00000 0x01d00000>;
+       compatible = "linksys,ns-firmware", "brcm,trx";
+};
+
+Check for MTD partition name "firmware" before parsing. Recently added
+ofpart_linksys_ns.c creates "firmware" and "failsafe" depending on
+bootloader setup.
