Considering this problem, I will upload a new patch to use log_debug()
for error message.

In my case, I have 
CONFIG_SPL_EFI_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT=y
but forget to enable CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_USE_PARTITION.


Yes, it seems we can have some dependencies in Kconfig like this:
config SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT
	bool "Support disk partitions"
	depends on CONFIG_SPL_EXT_SUPPORT || CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT ||
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
	help

But there is some case for part_iso or part_mac, which have no this
dependencies (because of it don't use part_get_info_ptr to wrap
part_get_info_iso).

How do you think about this ?  Should we add such dependencies ?
part_iso seems shouldn't have dependencies about ext, fat, mmcsd etc.
