The thing is, that I don't think these partitions belong in a mainline
dts at all. But I'm not sure what the current policy is.

Well in my case, it actually doesn't really matter. All the boards
I use do not have u-boot as bootloader but barebox. And barebox uses
devicetree fixups for adding the partition layout that fits the
particular use case. All other partitions are thrown out.
I don't know if u-boot does something like this.
