[PATCH 3/4] partitions/dos: add function to write partition table

Michael Grzeschik m.grzeschik at pengutronix.de
Mon Oct 17 06:29:22 PDT 2016


The function can be used to write an partition layout to the block device
based on its cdev layout. Only cdevs with flag DEVFS_PARTITION_IN_PT set
get written. The function also adds an static offset of 0x200000 to
ensure the mbr and bootloader will not be overwritten.
