Stefan Lippers-Hollmann 9a221c6d69 ip806x: nbg6817: sysupgrade support both targets for kernel/ rootfs partitions
With this commit and the previous "nbg6817: don't hardcode the rootfs location
by using append-rootblock instead" applied, it is possible to boot- and
sysupgrade from both dual-boot sets (the primary mmcblk0p4+mmcblk0p5 or the
alternative mmcblk0p7+mmcblk0p8). However the sysupgrade support does not
toggle between both dual-boot sets between firmware upgrades so far.

The partition map of the eMMC used in the nbg6817 is:

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7471104 sectors, 3.6 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): XXX
Partition table holds up to 12 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 7471070
Partitions will be aligned on 2-sector boundaries
Total free space is 1 sectors (512 bytes)

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1              34            8225   4.0 MiB     FFFF  rootfs_data
   2            8226           16417   4.0 MiB     FFFF  romd
   3           16418           18465   1024.0 KiB  FFFF  header
   4           18466           26657   4.0 MiB     FFFF  kernel
   5           26658          157729   64.0 MiB    FFFF  rootfs
   6          157730          159777   1024.0 KiB  FFFF  header_1
   7          159778          167969   4.0 MiB     FFFF  kernel_1
   8          167970          299041   64.0 MiB    FFFF  rootfs_1
   9          299042          823329   256.0 MiB   FFFF  bu1
  10          823330         7471069   3.2 GiB     FFFF  bu2

rootfs_data is the ext4 formatted overlay of the OEM firmware, LEDE
ignores it due to its (too) small size.

romd/ bu1 are initialized with zeroes (0x00) and unused.

bu2 is formatted with ext4 and used for streamboost and other optional
functionality by the OEM firmware, it is reformatted during factory
resets of the OEM firmware.

header/ header_1 contains version information for the corresponding
vendor firmwares installed to kernel/rootfs or kernel_1/ rootfs_1, the
format hasn't been completely reverse engineered so far and remains
left untouched by LEDE:
