I think I have found a better way to handle it, please check v5, did you
receive the series?

The new series just make the driver pass the partition node and the OF
code just take it and use it.

This way we don't have to parse the disk name at all and it's driver
specific work to select the "partitions" node if multiple are present.

I feel your hint produced a much better implementation without having to
pollute the block code with specific case.
