Documentation: ABI: mtd: describe "offset" more precisely
So far Linux supported only two levels of MTD devices so we didn't need a very precise description for this sysfs file. With commit 97519dc52b44a ("mtd: partitions: add support for subpartitions") there is support for a tree structure so we should have more precise description. Using "parent" and "flash device" makes it more accurate. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>

Description:
For a partition, the offset of that partition from the start
- of the master device in bytes. This attribute is absent on
- main devices, so it can be used to distinguish between
- partitions and devices that aren't partitions.
+ of the parent (another partition or a flash device) in bytes.
+ This attribute is absent on flash devices, so it can be used
+ to distinguish them from partitions.
