[PATCH v4] mmc: Update environment variable with active partition

Reuben Dowle reubendowle0 at gmail.com
Fri May 14 00:15:43 CEST 2021


This patch allows uboot scripts make choices about where to boot from based
on the active mmc boot partition. This allows having two copies of kernel,
filesystems etc, and choosing which to boot from based off of the active
bootloader partition.
