* Bufferoverflow on eMMC partition handling

Hi Everyone.

I tried to use all general purpose partitions on an eMMC storage device and ran into some trouble. In ./include/mci.h the number of partitions is limited to 6, but there might be 7 partitions. This results in a buffer overflow or access out of bound and causes a nasty bootloop when all general purpose-partitions are used. I created a simple patch and appended it to this mail.

Kind regards
fotte

Your patch lacks a Signed-off-by: line. Please respond with such a line.

Otherwise ok, thanks for fixing this. I additionally created a patch to
check for the array boundaries.

Hi Everyone.

I tried to use all general purpose partitions on an eMMC storage device and ran into some trouble. In ./include/mci.h the number of partitions is limited to 6, but there might be 7 partitions. This results in a buffer overflow or access out of bound and causes a nasty bootloop when all general purpose-partitions are used. I created a simple patch and appended it to this mail.

Memory for up to 6 partitions is reserved, however there can be up to 7
partitions on an mci storage (e.g. emmc). A user partition two boot partitions
and up to four general pupose partitions.
