[PATCH] mtd: allow multiple -(name) parts on cmdline.

[Daniel Danzberger <daniel@dd-wrt.com>]

This allows to specify multiple -(name) SIZE_REMAINING partitions on the
commandline parser.

Example:
mtdparts=physmap-flash.0:256k(uboot),128k(params),-(firmware),1966080(kernel),-(rootfs)

Having a "firmaware" partition makes it easier to flash/erase firmware on embedded decvices.
Many platforms have such a partition already defined in their platform or device tree code.

This patch makes it possible to define such partitions
on the cmdline as well.
