Yes, I am on the latest master. And yes, I have specified stridsize.
Here is my of_dump of my state device:
barebox@Phytec phyCORE AM335x:/ of_dump /state
state {
magic = <0x4aaef393>;
compatible = "barebox,state";
backend-type = "raw";
backend = <0x3f>;
backend-storage-type = "direct";
backend-stridesize = <0x10>;
partname {
reg = <0x0 0x10>;
type = "string";
default = "mmc0.1";
};
optional {
reg = <0x10 0x10>;
type = "string";
default = "none";
};
};
I do not know how to calculate stridsize.
Here is my state variable value and layout in the eeprom:
barebox@Phytec phyCORE AM335x:/ echo $state.partname
mmc0.1
barebox@Phytec phyCORE AM335x:/ md -s /dev/eeprom0

And here is the output from Linux side:
