All NVIDIA Tegra devices use a special partition table format for the
internal storage partitioning. Most of Tegra devices have GPT partition
in addition to TegraPT, but some older Android consumer-grade devices do
not or GPT is placed in a wrong sector, and thus, the TegraPT is needed
in order to support these devices properly in the upstream kernel. This
patch adds support for NVIDIA Tegra Partition Table format that is used
at least by all NVIDIA Tegra20 and Tegra30 devices.

This shouldn't be hard-coded. IIRC, the boot ROM writes a BIT (Boot Information Table) to a fixed location in IRAM, and there's some value in the BIT that points to where the BCT is in IRAM. In practice, it might work out that the BCT is always at the same place in IRAM, but this certainly isn't guaranteed. I think there's code in U-Boot which extracts the BCT location from the BIT? Yes, see arch/arm/mach-tegra/ap.c:get_odmdata().
