Subject: [PATCH 1/6] partitions: gpt: pass epd context pointer to find_valid_gpt()
Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2025 16:19:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251203-efi-partition-refresh-v1-1-f0b6e79b5fa0@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251203-efi-partition-refresh-v1-0-f0b6e79b5fa0@pengutronix.de>

Pass the epd context pointer to find_valid_gpt() which we'll use in a
followup patch. This makes other arguments unnecessary, so they are
dropped. While at it change the return value of find_valid_gpt() to
standard 0 for success and negative error code otherwise.
