So this series should have been marked v8?

How does this series relate to

[PATCH v8 00/13] FWU: Add FWU Multi Bank Update feature support
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220817124323.375968-1-sughosh.ganu@linaro.org/?

Is it superseded by that series?

This series has "FWU metadata on MTD device without GPT" while the other
has "FWU metadata on device with GPT partitioned layout".

Do we need both?

Best regards

Heinrich
