Add new GUID allowing to parse uImage.FIT stored in a GPT partition
and map filesystem sub-image as sub-partitions.

I'm not sure I follow the logic here.

You are adding uImage.FIT support as a pseudo-partition type right?
And the only partition driver that supports it is GPT?

Does that mean that all the other types would need a similar change to
be able to detect these subvolumes?
