Re: [U-Boot] [RFC][DFU] Unification of dfu_alt_info alt settings description + command execution

Dear Lukasz,

As a follow up from u-boot's mini-summit at ELCE 2013, I would like to once again share the new format of dfu_alt_info env variable (for those who couldn't attend).

dfu_alt_info_cleanup:

|---+-------------+-------------+---------+----------------------|
|   | <dev_name>: | <alt_name>, | <type>  | extra params         |
|---+-------------+-------------+---------+----------------------|
| 1 | mmc0:       | rootfs,     | part;   | -                    |
| 2 | mmc0:       | uImage,     | file,   | part, dir;           |
| 3 | nand0:      | u-boot.bin, | raw,    | start, size;         |
| 4 | mmc0:       | u-boot.bin, | raw,    | start_lba, size_lba; |
| 5 | ram0:       | uImage,     | ram,    | start, size;         |
| 6 | ubi0:       | kernel0,    | raw;    | -                    |
|---+-------------+-------------+---------+----------------------|
| 7 | cmd:        | cmd,        | cmd;    | -                    |

Why can we not have a common format for all media supporting the "raw" type? I mean, why can we not also use "start, size" for mmc? It should be trivial to convert into a LBA number.
