Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mtd: cmdlinepart: sort the unsorted partitions

Assume we have a 1GB(8Gb) nand chip.
It is legit if we set the partitions as the following:
    gpmi-nand:1g@...m(rootfs),100m@0(boot),100m@...m(kernel)

But the current code can not parse out any partition with this
cmdline.

This patch sorts the unsorted partitions by the @offset.
For there are maybe only several partitions, i use the simple
Bubble sort algorithm.
