On some boards, some partitions exposed to fastboot may become unavailable under certain circumstances, e.g. if an SD-Card exposed to fastboot is removed.
Previously, this lead to an error and the fastboot gadget did not initialize the remaining partitions exposed via fastboot, e.g. an eMMC which usually is permanently soldered on the board. This patch allows to append an optional flag 'o' to the description of a fastboot partition. If this partition is unavailable at the initialization of the fastboot gadget, said partition is skipped, while the remaining available partitions are still exposed.
