[U-Boot] [PATCH] siemens,am33x: adjust mtd partition

Use one mtd partition for rootfs and configuration by means of ubi volumes and get rid of configuration partition. We can use partition layout for both 256MB and 512MB flash.

You name the partition "rootfs" .. but it contains not only the rootfs, instead it contains now 2 or more UBI volumes ...
Maybe a rename it to "ubi" or "ubivolumes" or ... makes this clearer? Beside of this, you can add my:

Yes this is true.
Maybe a rename it to "ubi" or "ubivolumes" or ... makes this clearer? Beside of this, you can add my:
I had a first draft with partition name "ubi" ;-). What made me switch back too rootfs:
* Minimal changes in xml descriptions and scripts (not part of U-Boot) * DFU handles partitions with name "rootfs" differently, i.e. performs an erase for remaining blocks (although, I'm not sure if this is still true)

The kernel also accepts partition names here instead of numbers making this more future-proof.
