Thanks for the patch. It solves the problem with the block IO protocol.

Why should dev_read() and dev_write only work for UCLASS_PARTITION?
Can't we make it work for any block device? I think the treatment of
different types of block devices should be moved to disk/disk-uclass.c.

I will pull this patch as a fast fix. But this should not be the final
design.
