Hi Rafał,

BCM4908 partitioning is based on fixed layout but allows specifying
multiple firmware partitions. It requires detecting which firmware
partition was used for booting current kernel.

To support such cases without duplicating a lot of code (without copying
most of the ofpart.c code) support for post-parsing callback was added.

BCM4908 callback simply reads offset of currently used firmware
partition from the DT. Bootloader specifies it using the "brcm_blparms"
property.

The approach looks fine by me, let's see what other maintainers think.


Cheers,
Miquèl
