[PATCH 8/9] cdev: Add function to get unallocated start of device

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

On several SoCs barebox is written to the raw device in front of the
first partition. So far we blindly trust that there is enough space
available for the barebox image. Start changing this by adding a
function that retrieves the available space.
