[PATCH V3] mtd: bcm47part driver for BCM47XX chipsets

This driver provides parser detecting partitions on BCM47XX flash
memories. It has many differences in comparision to older BCM63XX, like:
1) Different CFE with no more trivial MAGICs
2) More partitions types (board_data, ML, POT)
3) Supporting more than 1 flash on a device
which resulted in decision of writing new parser.

It uses generic mtd interface and was successfully tested with Netgear
WNDR4500 router which has 2 flash memories: serial one and NAND one.

After talking with OpenWRT guys, it's now clear behaviour of this patch
is correct. We register partitions like they are, without any additional
garbage. Re-sending V3 without RFC.

V2: 1) Add support for more partitinos (ML and POT)
    2) Optimize: don't scan whole flash (like up to 128 MiB)
    3) Optimize: don't scan TRX partitions after detecting header

V3: 1) More defines less magic numbers
    2) Less duplication by adding bcm47part_add_part
    3) Mask out MTD_WRITEABLE only when needed
