[U-Boot] [PATCH v8 1/2] SPL: add support to boot from a partition type

[Dalon Westergreen]

the socfpga bootrom supports mmc booting from either a raw image
starting at 0x0, or from a partition of type 0xa2.  This patch
adds support for locating the boot image in the first type 0xa2
partition found.

Assigned a partition number of -1 will cause a search for a
partition of type CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION_TYPE
and use it to find the u-boot image

Changes in v8:
 - Move partition type default to arch/arm/mach-socfpga/Kconfig
Changes in v7:
 - set part type to 0xa2 only if socfpga selected
Changes in V6:
 - Remove unneeded backslash
Changes in V5:
 - fix styling in if (..) per Tom's request
Changes in V4:
 - Try search for partition type and failover to the defined
   partition number
Changes in V3:
 - Add depends on DOS_PARTITION
 - Ensure that PARTTION_TYPE defaults to non-zero
 - Add ifdef around sys_ind in disk_partition structure
Changes in V2:
 - Merge partition search into single partition function
