Extraction the part of dfu_alt_info from GPT or $partitions env variable
(as defined at e.g. Trats) is also a good idea.

The best solution would be to produce alt settings information as a mix
of GPT layout information (extraction of part num, start offset,
size... any more?) [*] and some predefined dfu_alt_info env variable. In
this way we can reuse already available code (since GPT layout is
already in place for most of targets).

But what about mtd parts (Nand/ UBI)? It shall be also doable to
extract information [*] from it. Am I correct?
