    mtd: bcm47xxpart: alternative MAGIC for board_data partition
    
    Some devices (like WNDR3700v3) have board_data without MPFR magic, some
    extra header or extra NVRAM around 0x100. In such case we have to look
    for another magic which is BD 0B 0D BD (BD probably stands for Board
    Data). It's located "far far away", so instead of extending buffer add
    another mtd_read.
