I currently have an image with six different partitions. See the
following partition configuration:

># bootloader
>part /boot/EFI --source bootimg-efi --sourceparams="loader=systemd-boot" --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=vfat --label boot --active --align 1024 --size 20 --overhead-factor=1.0 --uuid="1EFC2AC2-449B-6ABB-AA63-7EA004446DF1"
>
>#--use-uuid
># primary / recovery image
>part / --source rootfs --rootfs-dir=image --exclude-path opt/something/ opt/else/ opt/somemore/ --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label primary_rootfs --align 1024 --size 768 --overhead-factor=1.0 --uuid="2779D408-1362-AEF5-AEB1-00BF5674C065"
>part /recovery --source rootfs --rootfs-dir=image-recovery --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label recovery_rootfs --align 1024 --size 640 --overhead-factor=1.0 --uuid="528B6F25-5143-47B3-8D12-391820EAF1CF"

My problem is now that if I use the wic -e option to specify an image
name as rootfs-dir I can not extract subdirectories from the rootfs
to different partitions. Or at least I didn't found out a way.
That's why I added a rootfs-subdir option to wic that allows appending
a rootfs dir to the one received by IMAGE_ROOTFS. I read something
about spliting should be done on recipe level
(https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2016-March/029301.html),
but I couldn't figure out how that should be done and that patch seems
much easier for me.
