This is a new & warm feature that allows nesting partiitons in DT and
mixing their types (e.g. static vs. dynamic). It's very useful for
boards that have most partitions static but some of them require extra
parsing (e.g. a "firmware" partition).
It's required to successfully backport support for new devices using
that new syntax in their DT files.
Since brcm63xx has a custom alternative patch the upstream one is being
reverted for it. The plan is to make brcm63xx use the upstream
implementation.

Partition name is picked by a parser_trx_data_part_name(). It has to
get correct partition offset (taking care of bad blocks) to work
properly.
This fixes UBI support for devices that have kernel flashed on partition
with a bad block.
