Hi, setting up GPT on an iMX6, I noticed a small bug subject to CONFIG_PARTITION_DISK_EFI_GPT_NO_FORCE that leads to unparsed GPTs. Background: The iMX supports the mmc user partition as bootmedia source too. Problem: The (additional) filetype check[0] fails, if the given buffer contains multiple, subsequent file(type)s. The buffer might contain the beginning of a disk that contains i.e. a Barebox image *and* a partition table. The function file_detect_type returns a single (first recognized) type[1]. In my case, it returns the Barebox image type. There is a comment about this additional check noting it will be mandatory as it will be "[..] added to the EFI Spec. per Intel after v1.02.". Anybody can elaborate on that? That feedback could help to understand why file_detect_partition_table is insufficient in this case.
