Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH v3 5/5] GPT: fix error in partitions string doc
Date: Fri,  2 Jun 2017 19:22:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1496456554-6816-6-git-send-email-alison@peloton-tech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1496456554-6816-1-git-send-email-alison@peloton-tech.com>

From: Alison Chaiken <alison@peloton-tech.com>

The existing partitions-list parsing in cmd/gpt.c passes a value
from gpt_default() to set_gpt_info() that README.gpt suggests
should begin with 'partitions='.  Partition-list strings should
in fact begin with 'uuid_disk', as otherwise the call from
set_gpt_info() to extract_val() to find 'uuid_disk' will fail.
Change README.gpt and file comments accordingly.
