Would be nice to add "Fixes:" tag here, pointing to the corresponding
commit where the issue was introduced (see kernel docs for details).
It could be quite useful for possible stable branches and other
purposes, I'd recommend to add that tag for all fixes if you have more
in this series.

AFAIU, this changes the behavior of two above functions, and
consequently of "bcb ab_select" command? If so, just to double check:
were all users of those reworked correspondingly? I can see next
occurrences (there may be more):

$ grep -sIrHn '"_' boot/bootmeth_android.c

boot/bootmeth_android.c:74:    sprintf(partname, BOOT_PART_NAME "_%s",
priv->slot);
boot/bootmeth_android.c:111:    sprintf(partname,
VENDOR_BOOT_PART_NAME "_%s", priv->slot);
boot/bootmeth_android.c:156:    sprintf(slot_suffix, "_%s", priv->slot);
boot/bootmeth_android.c:397:    sprintf(slot_suffix, "_%s", priv->slot);

$ grep -sIrHn 'slot_suffix _' include/configs/
include/configs/ti_omap5_common.h:107:    "setenv slot_suffix _${slot_name};"
include/configs/meson64_android.h:65:        "setenv slot_suffix
_${current_slot}; " \
