[PATCHv2 0/2] ARM: cfa10036: Store the barebox environment on the MMC

[PATCHv2 0/2] ARM: cfa10036: Store the barebox environment on the MMC

[Maxime Ripard]

Hi,

The cfa-10036 comes only with a SD slot, so there was previously no way to
store in a persistent way the environment we could have modified other than
by modifying the code source itself.

These two patches register a new partition on the SD card to store that
environment, and update the default environment to reflect these changes.

Thanks,
Maxime

Changes from v1:
  - Make use of the new common envfs_register_partition function

[PATCH 1/2] cfa-10036: Use the second MMC partition to store the environment

[Maxime Ripard]

Since the only storage medium on the cfa-10036 is the MMC card, we need
to have a registered environment partition on it if we want to be able
to modify at runtime.

[PATCH 2/2] cfa10036: Update the environment

[Maxime Ripard]

Since we added a new partition in the board, the partitions number of
the boot and rootfs partition have changed as well.

I'm ok with doing it, where should it be stored?
