Fixes fastboot issues when switching from mbr to gpt partition tables.
Signed-off-by: Gary Bisson gary.bisson@boundarydevices.com --- Hi,
I hesitated calling this a RFC as I'm not sure everyone will like the idea.
Basically the issue encountered was the following: - Device with its storage flashed with a MBR partition table - Run fastboot to flash a new OS (and new partition table) - After flashing a GPT partition table, U-Boot couldn't find any of the partition names from the GPT -> reason is that the partition table entries aren't updated -> so U-Boot still believes it's a MBR table inside and so its parsing fails
This commit adds an update of the table entries inside the write_mbr_and_gpt_partitions() function. At first I thought maybe this should be added in fastboot file (fb_mmc.c) but couldn't think of a good reason why this shouldn't happened in part_efi directly.
Let me know if you have any questions.
