U-Boot has recently added support for having data blobs in uImage.FIT
images stored at offsets after the FDT structure rather than embedding
the data into the FDT structure itself. This is useful as it allows
parts of the image to be mapped by the FIT partition parser, and it
allows the FIT structure itself to be parsed more easily as it usually
fits into single page.
mtdsplit_fit assumed that the total length of an image is identical
to the length of the FDT structure. For uImage.FIT with external data
this assumption no longer holds true.
Add support for uImage.FIT with external data to mtdsplit_fit and in
in that case only split-off rootfs_data -- selecting and mapping rootfs
partition is left to the block partition parser just like on UBI and
block/GPT based platforms.

This is useful for dual-boot setups where the loader sets variables depending
on the flash boot partition.
For example the Linksys E8450 sets mtdparts=master for the first partition
and mtdparts=slave for the second one.

This fixes off-by-one error introduced in commit dc76900021
("kernel: Correctly search for the FIT image in mtd partition.")
Function `mtd_read` starts reading at `offset` and
needs `hdr_len` number of bytes to be available. Suppose
the easiest case when `offset` is `0` and `hdr_len` equals
to `mtd->size` - the `for` loop will not be entered even
when enough bytes are available to be read.
Same happens for any non-zero `offset`, when `hdr_len` is
just enough bytes to be read until `mtd->size` is reached.
Imagine that for example `mtd->size=5`, `offset=4` and
`hdr_len=1`. Then `offset+hdr_len=5` and the check has to
be `offset+hdr_len <= mtd->size`, i.e. `5 <= 5`. The
check for `offset + hdr_len` value needs to be inclusive,
therefore use `<=`.

Our mtdsplit parsers may want to create partition with name choice based
on partition file system (e.g. SquashFS vs. JFFS2). This patch allows
passing extra argument pointing to variable that will be set properly.

If this option is enabled, the FIT image format will be detected and
split by the mtdsplit code. Detection is based upon the FDT magic, which
will trigger the parsing and detection of the rootfs, ending-up in the
creation of the 2 new partitions.
