NVRAM is always placed at the end of device and it does not have to
start at the beginning of a block, so check few possible offsets.

This reverts commit be3781b71ac03723b552dc156931620634ef1b22.
Some CFE bootloaders have NVRAM at offset 0x1000. With that patch we
were detecting such a bootloaders as a standard NVRAM partition.
Changing anything in this pseudo-NVRAM resulted in corrupted bootloader
and bricked device!

Pull MTD update from David Woodhouse:
"Fairly unexciting MTD merge for 3.9:
- misc clean-ups in the MTD command-line partitioning parser
(cmdlinepart)
- add flash locking support for STmicro chips serial flash chips, as
well as for CFI command set 2 chips.
- new driver for the ELM error correction HW module found in various
TI chips, enable the OMAP NAND driver to use the ELM HW error
correction
- added number of new serial flash IDs
- various fixes and improvements in the gpmi NAND driver
- bcm47xx NAND driver improvements
- make the mtdpart module actually removable"

The nvram functions are exported and used by some normal drivers. To
prevent name clashes with ofter parts of the kernel code add a bcm47xx_
prefix in front of the function names and the header file name.

The nvram in the nvram partition does not start at the beginning of the
partition on every device. Sometimes they are stating in the middle of
a partition or the first 0x1000 bytes are free.

To make the partitions writable they should aligned to erase sizes of
the flash. If the erase size is small use 0x10000.

It's required for accessing trx header (usually re-calculating a
checksum) and for writing a new firmware.

This driver provides parser detecting partitions on BCM47XX flash
memories. It has many differences in comparison to BCM63XX, like:
1) Different CFE with no more trivial MAGICs
2) More partitions types (board_data, ML, POT)
3) Supporting more than 1 flash on a device
which resulted in decision of writing new parser.
It uses generic mtd interface and was successfully tested with Netgear
WNDR4500 router which has 2 flash memories: serial one and NAND one.
