[PATCH V2 2/5] MTD: bcm63xxpart: make sure CFE and NVRAM partitions are at least 64K

The CFE boot loader on BCM63XX platforms assumes itself and the NVRAM
partition to be 64 KiB (or erase block sized, if larger).
Ensure this assumption is also met when creating the partitions to
prevent accidential erasure of CFE or NVRAM.

Changes V1 -> V2:
  Clarified the need for the minimum size.


Hope this one's better :)
