[PATCH 4/4] partition: DOS: Add parameter for the NT disk Signature

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

The NT disk Signature is a unique 32-bit value in the MBR allowing
to identify a MSDOS partitioned disk. The signature can be used to
specify the Linux rootfs.
This patch adds support for the NT disk Signature in the form of a
device parameter which can both be read and written.
This is particularly useful when a board has multiple SD/MMC
devices and we want to boot from a particular one without depending
on the initialization order under Linux.

Given that the device is known under barebox as 'mmc1' and the
rootfs can be found on the second partition of that device the
Linux rootfs can then be specified with:

root=PARTUUID=${mmc1.nt_signature}-02
