Hi Rasmus,
For this patch and the previous one, should we have test(s) to make sure we don't regress?
That's obviously a good idea. But I don't have any idea how I'd go about writing such tests. AFAICT, there is no existing tests of the "find env partition by GUID" logic that I could amend, or any tests of any of the "find the mmc partition containing the env" for that matter. Pointers appreciated.
FWIW, on my end, I think I'll enable CONFIG_PARTITION_TYPE_GUID on all our configs and stop defining the real values of the ENV_OFFSET, so that our boards will start depending on the guid logic to find the env partitions. Which will then at least eventually find a regression, but unfortunately we usually lag some months behind on upgrading, and very rarely have resources for checking -rcX, so we would only find it after a release.
