Are you aware of any restrictions in how the internal flash may be
partitioned?

If, for example, I was happy to dedicate the internal flash to Debian,
is there any reason not to simply have three partitions:
   - nv-uboot
   - /boot
   - root
?

(Maybe even avoiding /boot if nv-uboot can read the root.)
