Yes.

I use below gpt table and "gpt write mmc 0 $partitions" command to do 
the test:
#define PARTS_DEFAULT \
        "uuid_disk=${uuid_gpt_disk};" \
        "name=boot,size=32M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_boot};" \
        "name=rootfs,size=-,uuid=${uuid_gpt_rootfs};"

Without this patch, I get message:
=> gpt write mmc 0 $partitions
Writing GPT: Partitions layout exceds disk size
error!

After I apply this patch, I get below message:
Writing GPT: success!

Thanks,
