The optional parameter bootable is added in gpt command to set the partition attribute flag "Legacy BIOS bootable"
This flag is used in extlinux and so in with distro to select the boot partition where is located the configuration file (please check out doc/README.distro for details).
With this parameter, U-Boot can be used to create the boot partition needed for device using distro.
example of use:
setenv partitions "name=u-boot,size=60MiB;name=boot,size=60Mib,bootable;\ name=rootfs,size=0"
gpt write mmc 0 $partitions
part list mmc 0
Partition Map for MMC device 0 -- Partition Type: EFI
Part Start LBA End LBA Name Attributes Type GUID Partition GUID 1 0x00000022 0x0001e021 "u-boot" attrs: 0x0000000000000000 type: ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7 guid: cceb0b18-39cb-d547-9db7-03b405fa77d4 2 0x0001e022 0x0003c021 "boot" attrs: 0x0000000000000004 type: ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7 guid: d4981a2b-0478-544e-9607-7fd3c651068d 3 0x0003c022 0x003a9fde "rootfs" attrs: 0x0000000000000000 type: ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7 guid: 6d6c9a36-e919-264d-a9ee-bd00379686c7
part list mmc 0 -bootable devplist
printenv devplist
devplist=2
Then the distro scripts will search extlinux in partition 2 and not in the first partition.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
