In preparation for removing the strlcat API[1], replace the char *pp_buf
with a struct seq_buf, which tracks the current write position and
remaining space internally. This allows for:
- Direct use of seq_buf_printf() in place of snprintf()+strlcat()
pairs, eliminating local tmp buffers throughout.
- Adjacent strlcat() calls that build strings piece-by-piece
(e.g., strlcat("["); strlcat(name); strlcat("]")) to be collapsed
into single seq_buf_printf() calls.
- Simpler call sites: seq_buf_puts() takes only the buffer and string,
with no need to pass PAGE_SIZE at every call.
The backing buffer allocation is unchanged (__get_free_page), and the
output path uses seq_buf_str() to NUL-terminate before passing to
printk().

Add support for partition table defined in Device Tree. Similar to how
it's done with MTD, add support for defining a fixed partition table in
device tree.
A common scenario for this is fixed block (eMMC) embedded devices that
have no MBR or GPT partition table to save storage space. Bootloader
access the block device with absolute address of data.
This is to complete the functionality with an equivalent implementation
with providing partition table with bootargs, for case where the booargs
can't be modified and tweaking the Device Tree is the only solution to
have an usabe partition table.
The implementation follow the fixed-partitions parser used on MTD
devices where a "partitions" node is expected to be declared with
"fixed-partitions" compatible in the OF node of the disk device
(mmc-card for eMMC for example) and each child node declare a label
and a reg with offset and size. If label is not declared, the node name
is used as fallback. Eventually is also possible to declare the read-only
property to flag the partition as read-only.
