This is just a proof of concept, not clean enough for being applied.

It results in creating subpartitions in a following way:
[    1.890000] Creating 3 MTD partitions on "bcm47xxsflash":                                                                                        
[    1.900000] 0x000000000000-0x000000020000 : "boot"                                                                                               
[    1.900000] 0x000000020000-0x0000007f0000 : "firmware"                                                                                           
[    1.940000] 3 trx_parser partitions found on MTD device firmware
[    1.980000] 0x00000002001c-0x00000002090c : "loader"
[    2.000000] 0x00000002090c-0x00000013b800 : "linux"
[    2.030000] 0x00000013b800-0x0000007f0000 : "rootfs"
[    2.060000] 0x0000007f0000-0x000000800000 : "nvram"
