[PATCH 3/5] disk: part_efi: Remove redundant struct partition definition

Tue Jan 20 14:36:12 CET 2026


Now that dos_partition_t and struct partition are identical the duplicated
data structure definition in the part_efi.h header can just be removed.

This results in a single, shared definition for MBR partition table
entries, instead of having the same definition in two different places.
