[U-Boot] [PATCH] disk: efi: Correct backing up the MBR boot code
In commit e163a931af34 ("cmd: gpt: backup boot code before writing MBR") there was added the procedure for storing old boot code when doing "gpt write". But instead of storing just backup code, the whole MBR was stored, and only specific fields were replaced further, keeping everything else intact. That's obviously not what we want.
Fix the code to actually store only old boot code and zero out everything else. This fixes next testing case:
=> mmc write $loadaddr 0x0 0x7b => gpt write mmc 1 $partitions
In case when $loadaddr address and further memory contains 0xff, the board was bricked (ROM-code probably didn't like partition entries that were clobbered with 0xff). With this patch applied, commands above don't brick the board.

Thanks for the patch. It looks like a right thing to do, but let me couple of days to go through it and recall what and why has been done on Intel Edison WRT MBR transfering.

Hi Tom,
Can we apply this one? It's kinda critical, as some boards were bricked while performing tests.
Thanks.
