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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On most image types the rootfs ends at an erase-block. However, at least
with brnImages this is not the case: while the partitions are aligned
with the erase-block size there is a 12 byte footer at the end of the
partition which must not be touched by any filesystem. This lead to a
rootfs_data partition which was not aligned properly (and thus ended up
being readonly):
0x000000480000-0x00000085a800 : "rootfs_data" (128 KiB EB)

This allows splitting EVA images (usually found in fritz devices). The
firmware will be split into a kernel and a separate rootfs partition.

This adds brnImage (used with the brnboot bootloader) firmware parsing
support. brnboot verifies the integrity of the firmware stored on the
"Code Image" partitions by looking at the 12 byte footer at the very end
of the partition. This footer contains the checksum of the original
brnImage (kernel + rootfs/squashfs) and must not be touched (by our JFFS2
rootfs_data - otherwise the image will not be bootable anymore).
Big thanks to Mathias Kresin for analyzing the brnImage structure and
finding out the information how to keep images valid even when adding a
nested rootfs_data partition.

If this option is enabled, the FIT image format will be detected and
split by the mtdsplit code. Detection is based upon the FDT magic, which
will trigger the parsing and detection of the rootfs, ending-up in the
creation of the 2 new partitions.

We shouldn't read data directly into the header struct, as some devices
(e.g. Edimax) need more bytes due to some extra header.

Some devices have uImage headers after some extra headers (e.g. Edimax
devices). To support such cases our verify callback function should be
allowed to return header offset, not just a boolean value.

The board is already supported by OpenWrt. WNR1000v2/WNR1000v2-VC are
pretty much the same as WNR2000v3/WNR612v2, therefore the same
initialization code and flash layout is used.

There are pretty many OpenWrt patches against mtd subsystem resulting
in a bit of mess and growing maintenance cost.
My idea is to use an extra "mtdsplit" directory with OpenWrt specific
files (including Kconfig).
This is the first step to achieve this. This patch adds a "mtdsplit"
directory with Kconfig and replaces 4 patches with a single one.
