Merge patch series "Restore support of short name for type UUID parameter"
Patrick Delaunay <patrick.delaunay@foss.st.com> says:
Fix and add documentation/tests for selection by string for known
partition type GUID introduced by
bcb41dcaefac ("uuid: add
selection by string for known partition type GUID"):
- split list_guid for short name (used also for partiton
description with type parameter) and full name to display
information
- as the function are uuid_str_to_bin() / uuid_guid_get_str()
are no more under CONFIG_PARTITION_TYPE_GUID, since commit
31ce367cd100 ("lib/uuid.c: change prototype of uuid_guid_get_str()")
and commit
c1528f324c60 ("lib: compile uuid_guid_get_str if
CONFIG_LIB_UUID=y") move the content of array under EFI_PARTITION
and linker will remove it is not used it (in SPL)
- Add and fix documentation for gpt command
- Add test test_gpt_write_part_type to test "type=" parameters
This first patch solves an issue for the "system" shortcut for ESP,
removed by commit d54V3 version solve issue for "ESP" support when
CONFIG_CMD_EFIDEBUG and CONFIG_EFI is not activated
for example for test with qemu-arm-sbsa defconfige1004b8b1 ("lib/uuid.c: use unique name
for PARTITION_SYSTEM_GUID") but used in 2 location (at least):
1- board/samsung/e850-96/e850-96.env:10:
partitions=name=esp,start=512K,size=128M,bootable,type=system;
partitions+=name=rootfs,size=-,bootable,type=linux
2- arch/arm/mach-stm32mp/cmd_stm32prog/stm32prog.c:1151
case PART_ESP:
/* EFI System Partition */
459219 type_str = "system"
....
offset += snprintf(buf + offset,
buflen - offset,
",type=%s", type_str);
