IMHO 's/number/index/' (when referring to the id of a partition) would
make code and documentation more clear since 'number' can be confused
with 'count' while 'index' is unequivocal.

Feel free to ignore it though, as the terms seem to be intermixed in
various places of Linux/U-Boot (my opinion still stands).

The review comment also applies to other patches from this series:
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1044153/ ("[U-Boot,v3,2/7] disk:
   part: Extend API to get partition info")
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1044162/ ("[U-Boot,v3,6/7] doc:
   android: Add simple guide for A/B updates")
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1044160/ ("[U-Boot,v3,7/7] env:
   am57xx: Implement A/B boot process")

Best regards,
Eugeniu.
