We allowed using bcm47xxpart on BCM5301X arch with commit:
9e3afa5f5c ("mtd: bcm47xxpart: allow enabling on ARCH_BCM_5301X")
BCM5301X devices may contain some partitions in higher memory, e.g.
Netgear R8000 has board_data at 0x2600000. To detect them we should
use size limit on MIPS only.

We only want to modify these arrays inside the parser "drivers", so the
drivers should construct them however they like, then return them as
immutable arrays.
This will make other refactorings easier.

Most parsers can be handled with our new boilerplate-reducing macro.
There are a few that can't be (cmdlineparts and ofpart).
Also kill off the owner assignments, since register_mtd_parser() now
takes care of that.

SquashFS is supposed to use magic defined as SQUASHFS_MAGIC. What we
were supporting so far (SQSH_MAGIC) is something ZTE specific.

Old devices used to have NVRAM at the very end of flash and they could
be unaligned (starting at some offset in a block).
In new devices NVRAM can be located quite randomly, however it seems to
always start at the beginning of a block. For example Netgear R6250 has
NVRAM located right after the bootloader, before the kernel partition.

Some devices (like WNDR3700v3) have board_data without MPFR magic, some
extra header or extra NVRAM around 0x100. In such case we have to look
for another magic which is BD 0B 0D BD (BD probably stands for Board
Data). It's located "far far away", so instead of extending buffer add
another mtd_read.

Most of the bcm47xx devices use TRX format for storing kernel and some
partition like Squashfs or JFFS2. This is pretty flexible solution, CFE
(the bootloader) just writes (and later boots) TRX at some hardcoded
place and paritions can vary in the size.
However some devices don't use TRX format. Very recently we have
discovered ZTE H218N that has kernel and rootfs partitions at some
"random" places.
This patch allows Linux find a rootfs partition after installing custom
image with a CFE bootloader.

This reverts commit be3781b71a.
Some CFE bootloaders have NVRAM at offset 0x1000. With that patch we
were detecting such a bootloaders as a standard NVRAM partition.
Changing anything in this pseudo-NVRAM resulted in corrupted bootloader

This driver provides parser detecting partitions on BCM47XX flash
memories. It has many differences in comparison to BCM63XX, like:
1) Different CFE with no more trivial MAGICs
2) More partitions types (board_data, ML, POT)
3) Supporting more than 1 flash on a device
which resulted in decision of writing new parser.
It uses generic mtd interface and was successfully tested with Netgear
WNDR4500 router which has 2 flash memories: serial one and NAND one.
