Why do we need something new here? The existing fixed-partitions can 
already define block device partitions. It just matches by 
address/offset which works whether its MBR or GPT. Also, in DT we always 
have an address when there is an address.

I'm sure you want to statically define this and have it work even if the 
partitions move, but sorry...

If this remains it will need some work in the dtschema tools. The reason 
is json-schema already has support for UUIDs as a defined 'format' key 
value and we should use that.
