Add support for partition table defined in Device Tree. Similar to how
it's done with MTD, add support for defining a fixed partition table in
device tree.
A common scenario for this is fixed block (eMMC) embedded devices that
have no MBR or GPT partition table to save storage space. Bootloader
access the block device with absolute address of data.
This is to complete the functionality with an equivalent implementation
with providing partition table with bootargs, for case where the booargs
can't be modified and tweaking the Device Tree is the only solution to
have an usabe partition table.
The implementation follow the fixed-partitions parser used on MTD
devices where a "partitions" node is expected to be declared in the OF
node of the disk device (mmc-card for eMMC for example) and each child
node declare a label and a reg with offset and size. Eventually is also
possible to declare the read-only property to flag the partition as
read-only.
The driver scan the disk name and check if it's suffixed with boot0 or
boot1. This is to handle the additional disk provided by eMMC or UFS
devices in general. If this suffix is detected, "partitions-boot0" or
"partitions-boot1" are used instead of the generic "partitions"
