Hi All,

This patchset adds 'mbr' command to let one create or verify MBR (Master
Boot Record) partition layout based on the provided text description.
This can be used in scripts to help system flashing tools/scripts to
ensure proper partition layout. It has been inspired by the 'gpt' command
already present in u-boot.

Best regards
