You, were right, I didn't look at that before (I just used ext4 images).
Please see the patch attached. I don't know if this hack is acceptable
but I don't see any other way to fix it.
The key point is that we have to rename the onboard flash partition to
make splitting work (without introducing other split methods?). This,
potentially, can break something elsewhere but I don't see where right
now.
