U-Boot partition may contain subpartitions. For example Broadcom
includes environment data block in the middle of its U-Boot partition.

This allows describing Broadcom's U-Boot env data and will allow
referencing its NVMEM cell in the future.

Reg: 118f3fbe517f4 ("dt-bindings: mtd: partitions: support label/name only partition")

Pardon my ignorance here, but what is the significance of a "Reg" tag?

That was meant to be "Ref:" and was meant to show commit that introduced
concept of dynamic partitions. I thought it's a new feature not everyone
may be familiar with yet. I thought it may help to review this patch.

If that is pointless though could you Rob just drop those tags while
applying, please? I guess I'll just let you decide.
