[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH 2/4] kernel/4.4: mtdsplit: add kernel cmdline to disable split parsers for rootfs and firmware partitions

[hackpascal]

Some firmware have already defined rootfs/rootfs_data partitions and do not need extra split operations.

This patch adds two kernel cmdline parameters to disable firmware and rootfs parsers separately:
  nofwsplit
  norootfssplit
