[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 2/2] common: cmd_part: start and size sub-commands introduction

Mon Jun 15 21:35:05 CEST 2015


This introduces the part start and part size sub-commands. The purpose of these
is to store the start block and size of a partition in a variable, given the
device and partition number.

This allows reading raw data that fits a single partition more easily.
For instance, this could be used to figure out the start block and size of a
kernel partition when a partition table is present, given the partition number.
