I stand corrected here - on the Marvell Armada XP and Armada 370
DiskStations, the FIS directory (RedBoot parts) does appear to be
used by the Synology kernel.

If I'm reading it right, unless otherwise configured, the RedBoot
partition maps will take precedence over the device tree partition 
maps when CONFIG_MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS is enabled.
