Fix overlapping NAND partitions.

Ping? Two partitions at same place are bad news...

Please expand on "bad news"?  What are the runtime effects of this
change?  Decisions about which kernel(s) to patch depend on this info.

Well... two partitions at same place. If you use one, you will corrupt
information on the other one.

OTOH this moves partition around (so that they don't overlap) so it is
probably not stable candidate.

I guess this is not huge issue; people using these boards probably
have custom dts changes, anyway...

Or no one's even using it anymore.

I can take this via powerpc, I won't mark it for stable etc.

It became:

    powerpc/sequoia: Fix NAND partitions not to overlap
    
    Currently the DTS defines two partitions at the same addresses, if you
    use one, you will corrupt information on the other one. Fix it by
    shifting the second partition.

Minor nit, your From: address doesn't match your Signed-off-by: address,
which trips my "check patch is signed-off-by author" script. I can
just ignore it, but I think it's preferable if they match.
