From: Rob Herring <rob.herring at calxeda.com>

The primary goal of this series is to enable using the 1st bootable
partition as the default partition for disk boot related commands. Every
command that takes a "<dev>[:<part>]" option duplicates the same parsing
code, so this series consolidates the parsing code to a single function.

There are obviously other block device commands that need to be converted
still. I will do these once there is some basic agreement on the initial
support.
