[PATCH v2] mmc: Update environment variable with active partition

This patch allows uboot scripts make choices about where to boot from based on the active mmc boot partition. This allows having two copies of kernel, filesystems etc, and choosing which to boot from based off of the active bootloader partition.

boot_ack / boot_partition / partition_access are optional variable, not mandatory. And it's confused that different variable is used with same command.
I think that it's enough to use "mmc partconf <dev>". Then it's showed which partition is used.
If you have to apply this patch,
It seems that "mmc partconf <dev> [varname] [boot_ack boot_partition partition_access]" is correct way.

Hi Jaehoon,

mmc partconf has two forms currently - one where you set the values and one where you read the values. It would not make sense to write the environment variable when you are writing the MMC values.
When setting the values you need 4 parameters (dev + three values to set). In this case all three values are mandatory, and this is not changing.
When reading the values you currently just need 1 parameter (dev). This patch adds a second optional parameter to store the current active partition.
Best Regards, Jaehoon Chung

<dev> is mandatory, and [<boot_ack> <boot_partition> <partition_access>] is optional. If optional variable will be used, those variables can be mandatory, right?
mmc partconf <dev> is displayed even without other variables.
"mmc partconf <dev> [[varname] | [<boot_ack> <boot_partition> <partition_access>]]" is correct usage for yours.
It means varname or other options variable can be chosen.

I agree, this seems like a better way to format the help. I have sent a new patch with it changed to your suggestion.
