Problem is that it's not that easy... I notice that comment on some
ipq40xx dts but many ath79 device have fixed-partition defined and still
use cmdlinepart with no comments about it... guess how we discovered that
when the nvmem migration was done.

cmdline is so special because it does have priority against any parser.
We had a hack patch to support nvmem with device that used cmdlinepart
but this is now dropped as we have an upstream solution.
