dt-bindings: mtd: partitions: add binding for U-Boot bootloader
Right now there is no (known) real reason for a custom binding for standard U-Boot partitions. Broadcom's U-Boot however requires extra handling - looking for environment variables subblocks. This commit adds Broadcom specific binding.
