Now that Rafal introduced sub-partitioning support I'd prefer to go for
this solution. If I take your example, that would give something like:

mtdparts=physmap-flash.0:256k(uboot),128k(params),-(firmware);firmware:1966080(kernel),-(rootfs)

I'm not entirely sure, but I think all you'd have to do to support that
is add "cmdline" to the default_subpartition_type[] array [1] (or
simply use default_partition_type since default_subpartition_type and
default_partition_type would be the same after this change).

Regards,

Boris
