Cai Zhiyong d4900b6d2b block: support embedded device command line partition
Read block device partition table from command line.  The partition used
for fixed block device (eMMC) embedded device.  It is no MBR, save
storage space.  Bootloader can be easily accessed by absolute address of
data on the block device.  Users can easily change the partition.

This code reference MTD partition, source "drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c"
About the partition verbose reference
