This "select" just confuses me. I can set it to true and then I get
a flood of irrelevant errors, and the same if I change it to true for
any of the other childless partitions such as arm,arm-firmware-suite.yaml

So I do a best effort here...

Not really, seama is childless.

I guess the example with fixed-partitions
was confusion, seama can be a subpartition in a set
of fixed-partions.

I'll try to write up something so it's clear.
