My $.25 -- IMHO, block device partitions in Device Tree is _NOT_ a very good

What if one decided to re-partition his drive? Or just use bigger or smaller
drive? Would he has to re-write DTS file and re-compile everything? And such
change is not something extraordinary, it is a routine action.
IMHO partitions do _NOT_ belong to Block Device. That's what partition
tables are.
It _MIGHT_ make sense for some particular devices such as MTD that don't
have partition tables but _NOT_ for Block Devices in general.
