[PATCH v3 3/4] cmd: part: Add partition-related type command

Tue Jan 10 17:19:34 CET 2023


This implements the following command:

    part type mmc 0:1
      -> print partition type UUID
    part type mmc 0:1 uuid
      -> set environment variable to partition type UUID

"part type" can be useful when writing a bootcmd which searches for a
specific partition type to enable automatic discovery of partitions and
their intended usage or mount point.
