[PATCH v3 0/4] Enable env in SCSI

[PATCH v3 0/4] Enable env in SCSI

[Varadarajan Narayanan]

The qcs9100 based Ride platforms have UFS as their primary storage.
Hence add support to U-Boot env framework to be able to save and
retrieve the environment from UFS. The environment will be
saved/retrieved from the partition specified in the config option
CONFIG_SCSI_ENV_PART.

Also add an API to convert partition UUID string to block device
descriptor for UFS. This API will be used to get the block device
descriptor for the partition specified in CONFIG_SCSI_ENV_PART.

v3: s/scsi_get_blk/scsi_get_blk_by_uuid
    Fix argument name in scsi_get_blk_by_uuid

v2: Add part_get_info_by_uuid() similar to part_get_info_by_name()
    Use SCSI instead of UFS
    Use UUID for SCSI_ENV_PART instead of name

Please refer to checkpatch output (the b4 tool will run this for you

For part_efi (which is the only one relevant here I think?) you can 
check for -EPERM which signals the end of the partition list I believe. 
Then we aren't calling get_info() 128 times for every LUN...

This is a replica of part_get_info_by_name() - [1]. Not sure why it has
it that way and didn't want to miss corner cases (if any). Please let
me know if still you would prefer to change to check for -EPERM.

Unfortunately the get_info callback doesn't document the return value :(

I think it would be nice to clean this up, and document a return value 
for get_info to save a bit of time but I guess this is fine with the API 
being so poorly defined :(

At this point I think we should just unconditionally scsi_scan() like we 
do with MMC... Tom (others?) any thoughts on this? Anyhow this is 
probably fine.

One thing to be extremely wary of is that we don't call scsi_scan() 
after initialising EFI driver handles because that will cause big issues 
(ran into this one before), since scsi_scan() will unbind and rebind 
drivers if it was already called. I don't think that's a problem with 
the current ordering of things.

As before, please check for the end of the list and break here (-ENODEV 
is the magic value). Really it's bad practise to ignore ret, we should 
only ever continue if ret is -ENOENT, otherwise we should return the 
errorcode (and probably translate a -ENODEV to -ENOENT since that makes 
more sense here)

Kind regards,

It's certainly something to talk about stand-alone, yeah.

Could you also update the RDP documentation to describe firstly that env 
is loaded from a partition, and then reference this GUID and which 
partition it is.

As Tom mentioned before, doing it on FAT would make it much easier to 
tinker with, but I guess it's better to match what you're doing in 
production, just as long as it's documented...
