The D-Link devices with JBOOT bootloader use their own kernel
image header (stag + sch2 headers).
This driver find jImage header and set rootfs start after kernel file.

The RouterBOOT bootloader does not care where the kernel lives in the SPI
flash, all that matters is that the kernel is wrapped in the custom yaffs
container as generated by kernel2minor.
This container has a fixed signature as follows:
00000000 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 ff ff 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c |..........kernel|
This patch adds mtdsplit support for identifying that signature and
triggering the search for the rootfs. rootfs is expected at EB boundary since
we use wget mtd_find_rootfs_from(). We make no use of the yaffs file size
field because it contains invalid data in the image generated by kernel2minor.

Support splitting WRGG images, found in some D-Link devices (e.g.
DAP-2695).

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.
