Dear Wolfgang,

Thanks for the review comments.
I would like to clarify that this patch resizes EMMC partitions. But does
not create partitions.
I think the statement *"..close and create partitions on EMMC"* was
misleading, which I corrected in latest patch set.

The EMMC4.4 chips are provided with 2 boot partitons and 1 RPMB partition.
This patch merely deals with resizing Boot partitions & RPMB partition, by
sending proper commands to EMMC chip.

Thanks & Regards
Amarendra Reddy.
