Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: mtd: partitions: add binding for U-Boot bootloader

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

Right now there is no (known) real reason for a custom binding for
standard U-Boot partitions. Broadcom's U-Boot however requires extra
handling - looking for environment variables subblocks. This commit adds
Broadcom specific binding.

+title: U-Boot bootloader partition
+
+description: |
+  U-Boot is a bootlodaer commonly used in embedded devices. It's almost always
+  located on some kind of flash device.
+
+  Device configuration is stored as a set of environment variables that are
+  located in a (usually standalone) block of data.
