There is already a real partitions.yaml file, nothing in this text file
is actually needed so drop it.

There's a bunch of references to this file still. Run the doc ref check.

-Flash partitions in device tree
-===============================
-
-Flash devices can be partitioned into one or more functional ranges (e.g. "boot
-code", "nvram", "kernel").
-
-Different devices may be partitioned in a different ways. Some may use a fixed
-flash layout set at production time. Some may use on-flash table that describes
-the geometry and naming/purpose of each functional region. It is also possible
-to see these methods mixed.
-
-To assist system software in locating partitions, we allow describing which
-method is used for a given flash device. To describe the method there should be
-a subnode of the flash device that is named 'partitions'. It must have a
-'compatible' property, which is used to identify the method to use.
-
-When a single partition is represented with a DT node (it depends on a used
-format) it may also be described using above rules ('compatible' and optionally
-some extra properties / subnodes). It allows describing more complex,
-hierarchical (multi-level) layouts and should be used if there is some
-significant relation between partitions or some partition internally uses
-another partitioning method.
-
-Available bindings are listed in the "partitions" subdirectory.
-
-
-Deprecated: partitions defined in flash node
-============================================
-
-For backwards compatibility partitions as direct subnodes of the flash device are
-supported. This use is discouraged.
-NOTE: also for backwards compatibility, direct subnodes that have a compatible
-string are not considered partitions, as they may be used for other bindings.
