cmd: part: support lookup by UUID

2026-05-12T13:52:01Z

The 'part' command currently allows looking up a partition only by its number or name. Extend the 'number', 'start', and 'size' subcommands to support looking up the partition via its UUID. Unlike names, UUIDs guarantee unique partition identification, avoiding ambiguity. The logic is updated to check if the provided string is a valid UUID before falling back to a name-based search. The help strings for these subcommands are updated accordingly. Signed-off-by: Dario Binacchi Reviewed-by: Simon Glass

doc: usage: Add general rule for `$?`

2025-10-26T15:03:35Z

For nearly all commands in U-Boot the '?' variable is handled the same way with 0 meaning success, 1 meaning any failure. Explain this in the general rules section of the cmdline documentation (with a link to a counter example) and then remove the redundant wording from most commands. We retain a section about the return value in a number of places where we are doing something such as always returning a specific value or we have useful additional information to go along with the normal return codes.

part: Allow setting the partition-table type

2023-07-17T09:12:06Z

Some devices have multiple partition types available on the same media. It is sometimes useful to see these to check that everything is working correctly. Provide a way to manually set the partition-table type, avoiding the auto-detection process. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Bin Meng
