We have a number of places where we check if a node is compatible with
"fixed-partitions". In preparation for supporting
"barebox,fixed-partitions" as well, factor out the existing compatible
check into a new of_node_is_fixed_partitions() function.

barebox has for many years supported a superset of the upstream OF
partitions binding by parsing partitions out of SD/eMMC and EEPROM
in addition to MTD.
Unfortunately, we didn't upstream our binding and a different binding
went upstream into Linux v6.13-rc1 along with Linux commit
2e3a191e89f9 ("block: add support for partition table defined in OF").
Since then, if CONFIG_OF_PARTITION, which is disabled by default, is
enabled, Linux will ignore any GPT/MBR if an SD/eMMC node has a
fixed-partitions compatible subnode.
This is different from the barebox behavior, which allows both OF
partitions and GPT/MBR to co-exist as long as they don't conflict.
As many barebox boards:
- Place the environment in non-partitioned space prior to the first
partition
- Fixup all fixed-partitions into the kernel device tree by default
this results in breakage if a newer kernel is booted with
CONFIG_OF_PARTITION enabled.
As first step towards resolving this, teach barebox to parse
barebox,fixed-partitions the same way it parses fixed-partitions.

The fixed-partitions compatible is meant to be used for the partitions
container holding the individual partitions and not for every individual
partition.
This didn't lead to problems so far, because barebox ignored the
compatible and parsed them as legacy partitions.
Resolve the confusion by changing the description to use the new-style
binding correctly.
While at it, we also drop some leading zeroes for readability's sake.

While it's generally advisable to boot Linux with a Linux device tree
from the same release, barebox device trees should nevertheless be
usable to boot Linux.
For many barebox device trees, this was no longer the case since Linux
v6.13-rc1 with CONFIG_OF_PARTITION enabled, as Linux commit 2e3a191e89f9
("block: add support for partition table defined in OF") will result
in Linux ignoring the GPT/MBR if fixed-partitions are specified.
To resolve this, replace all fixed-partitions we have for SD/MMC and
EEPROMs devices with barebox,fixed-partitions instead.
Changes to the EEPROM nodes could've been omitted, but they are included
anyway as partitioning EEPROMs isn't supported by Linux upstream and to
anticipate any breakage that may result if a different binding goes
upstream first.

We are going to add a new fixup mode to enum of_binding_name in the next
commit. For readability's sake, refactor the existing code to make it
easier to extend.
No functional change.

Linux supports OF partitions for MMC since Linux v6.13-rc1 with commit
2e3a191e89f9 ("block: add support for partition table defined in OF"),
but in a manner incompatible to barebox:
If CONFIG_OF_PARTITION is enabled and a fixed-partitions node exists,
the EFI/MBR partition table is completely ignored.
In barebox, they are allowed to coexist, as long as they don't conflict.
To resolve this conflict, we change the default fixup scheme to an
"adaptive" scheme that uses new-style fixups, but with the compatible
depending on the parent device:
- If the partitions node in the kernel DT already has a compatible,
use the same compatible as not to clobber new Linux OF partitions,
which would be parsed by CONFIG_OF_PARTITION
- If the device is an MTD device, use "fixed-partitions", so Linux
sees the same partitions and to maintain backwards compatibility
- For everything else (i.e. EEPROMs and SD/eMMC), use
"barebox,fixed-partitions"
This scheme is fully backwards-compatible with older kernels and
userspace:
- barebox,fixed-partitions replaces fixed-partitions only
for nodes that Linux didn't parse before anyway
- fixed-partitions will continue to be emitted for MTD,
which Linux did parse before
- barebox-state doesn't actually look for the "fixed-partitions"
compatible to find out if a patition is in a container.
Instead it checks the parent node name to be equal
to "partitions"...

Could we add a warning/notice that the board should be converted to make
use of the barebox GPT parttype-uuid? It's 2025 and IMHO there is no
reason for not using the GPT with the barebox state part-type UUID in
place. This is of course not related to this patchset.

There's no partition type UUID solution for barebox on EFI systems yet
and for many systems in the field, switching to partition type UUID
would mean a migration step, where a rollback to a system with an old
barebox-state version is not possible...
