See my previous comment to patch # 9 of this series.  Should we not
rather strive t come up with a more generic handling of partitions on
storage devices?  I don't want to jhave (E)MMC partitioon handling
here, USB partitions there, (P)ATA and SATA and ... all in different
implementations...

If we support creation and manipulation of partitions, this should be
done in common code.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
