Subject: [PATCH] fixup! partition: reparse tables only if CONFIG_PARTITION_MANIPULATION=y
Date: Wed, 15 May 2024 11:24:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240515092446.80738-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240515080507.4056255-3-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
partitions: add prompt and help text for CONFIG_PARTITION_MANIPULATION
So far, CONFIG_PARTITION_MANIPULATION was only selected by
CONFIG_CMD_PARTED and influenced repartitioning support.
Now that it's used to guard the feature of reparsing partition tables,
it makes sense to give it a help text and a prompt for devlopment usage.

+ Say y here to have barebox reparse the partition table automatically
+ when it's rewritten. This is useful when using the parted command
+ or when writing full disk images that change the existing partitions.
+
+ Reparsing the partition table will delete existing partitions and thus
+ may break users that don't do proper reference counting. For this
+ reason, this option is currently disabled by default.
