I think addition of common headers like this needs an ack from
Grant/Rob. I CC'd them here.

Which binding document in Documentation/devicetree/bindings is this
definition associated with? The comment above should really mention
this. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partition.txt doesn't seem
to mention this value.

For MTD partitions specifically, SZ_4G and onwards would be useful in
theory, although that would end up putting two cell values into a single
macro. and then the values couldn't be added/or'd together. So, I'm not
really sure if we want to add those larger values, but food for thought...
