[U-Boot] [PATCH V3 7/8] disk: part_msdos: parse and store partition UUID

Stephen Warren swarren at wwwdotorg.org
Wed Sep 19 00:37:53 CEST 2012


From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred
to as the NT disk signature. When combined with a partition number within
the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's
partition UUID.

This patch generates UUIDs in the format 0002dd75-01, which matches the
format expected by the Linux kernel.
