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.

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.
