Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] fastboot: inform user if barebox update falls back to raw copy
Date: Thu,  9 Jun 2022 13:17:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220609111703.2446899-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220609111703.2446899-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

Fastboot will fall back to a raw copy even for bbu- partitions if
no barebox_update was found or if support isn't compiled in.

Coupled with eMMC boot partitions, this could lead to
`barebox_update -t mmc` updating the boot partition, while a
`fastboot flash bbu-mmc` will write the image to the user area instead.

It's worth telling the user when this happens, so add a status message.
