The dtb files for the Atmel Xplained board also has a partition
definition, so the same comment applies there, too.

Besides being no hardware description, this implies a certain way of
using the system; for example, with the "kernel" plus "rootfs"
partitions, it suggests that you can't have the kernel in the standard
root filesystem (which is possible with barebox and the freedesktop.org
bootloader specification).
