It is is sometimes desired to be able to skip decrementing the number of tries remaining in an Android A/B boot, and instead just check which slot will be tried later. This can commonly be be the case for platforms that want to A/B u-boot itself, but are required to boot from a FAT MBR partition. In these cases, u-boot must do an early check that the MBR points to the correct A/B boot partition, and if not rewrite the MBR to point to the correct one and reboot. Decrementing the try count in this case is not desired because it means that each u-boot might constantly ping-pong overwriting the MBR and rebooting until all the retries are used up.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
