To ensure the stock rootfs ends up at the correct offset, the preceding kernel partition is padded with 0xff, corresponding to erased flash. Since on sysupgrade all the required flash space is anyway rased before writing the new image, it is not necessary to also pad after the second and last part of the generated image. This can reduce the generated image size by several MiB.
