mtd: mtdpart: Don't create platform device that'll never probe

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit fb42378dcc7f247df56f0ecddfdae85487495fbc ]

These "nvmem-cells" platform devices never get probed because there's no
platform driver for it and it's never used anywhere else. So it's a
waste of memory. These devices also cause fw_devlink to block nvmem
consumers of "nvmem-cells" partition from probing because the supplier
device never probes.

So stop creating platform devices for nvmem-cells partitions to avoid
wasting memory and to avoid blocking probing of consumers.
