In the discussion after the submission of the "Let the distro boot command scan all partitions" patchset it became clear the general consensus was that u-boot should not simply scan all partitions but instead only partitions with the bootable flag set, falling back to parition 1 as was previously done.
As Hans de Goede already remarked for the first revision of this set, this patchset should probably be included in final v2015.04 to prevent the boot behaviour of the distro boot commands changing again post release.
For reference, v2015.1 just tried from the first partition on the various devices, current master tries to boot from all partitions (due to one of my earlier patchsets) and with this patchset we again change to just booting from partitions with the boot flag set, falling back to the first partition (as was the consensus from the mailinglist discussion).
This set of patches implements that
Changes since v1:
- Make updated part list command more precise about what arguments ordering it accepts.
Sjoerd Simons (3): part: Add support for list filtering on bootable partitions config_cmd_default.h: Add 'env exists' command config_distro_bootcmd.h: Prefer booting from bootable paritions
