1aca291214 kernel: mtdsplit: calculate kernel partition precisely for Seama
So far "kernel" partition didn't contain just a kernel. It also included
Seama header and meta data. This was making kernel update complex and it
wasn't trivial to read kernel size.
Fix it by making "kernel" parition contain just a kernel image.

1a57ce0c03 kernel: mtdsplit: add missing digest field to Seama header
Seama format has 2 similar headers: container (seal) header and entity
header. The first one has size always set to 0 and doesn't contain MD5
digest.

When dealing with Seama on a flash we deal directly with an entity. You
can see mtdsplit_parse_seama reads from offset 0 and expects entity to
be there. Seama container is used by bootloader / interface only which
extract entity out of it and flash it.

That said we should fix our header struct. This is important as we
calculate possible rootfs offset assuming it may be placed right after
Seama entity. So far calculate offset was always 16B too low.

9220dd5d36 kernel: mtdsplit: support Seama entity with UBI
Some D-Link routers (e.g. DIR-885L) have NAND and use Seama format. It
means OpenWrt will want to have UBI in Sseama entity and should be able
to detect it.

e1491b341b kernel: mtdsplit: modify rootfs helpers to provide partition type
Our mtdsplit parsers may want to create partition with name choice based
on partition file system (e.g. SquashFS vs. JFFS2). This patch allows
passing extra argument pointing to variable that will be set properly.

02abeb3b0a kernel: mtdsplit: document Seama splitter a bit
Rename kernel_size variable as it includes whole entity size, not just a
kernel size. Also update comments to match it and describe better what
are we checking/looking for.
