This patch is based on the assumption that all the partitions are
in the right offset order.
Assume we have a 1GB(8Gb) nand chip, and we set the partitions
in the command line like this:
#gpmi-nand:100m(boot),100m(kernel),1g(rootfs)
In this case, the partition truncating occurs. The current code will
get the following result:
----------------------------------
root at freescale ~$ cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 06400000 00040000 "boot"
mtd1: 06400000 00040000 "kernel"
----------------------------------
It is obvious that we lost the truncated partition `rootfs` which should
be 824M in this case.
Why? The old code sets the wrong partitions number when the truncating
occurs. This patch fixes it. Alao add a `break` to shortcut the code in this
case.
After apply this patch, the result becomes:
----------------------------------
root at freescale ~$ cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 06400000 00040000 "boot"
mtd1: 06400000 00040000 "kernel"
mtd2: 33800000 00040000 "rootfs"
----------------------------------
We get the right result.
