Merge patch series "'part name' subcommand and some robustification"
Rasmus Villemoes <[email protected]> says:
Implement a "part name" subcommand, mirroring the existing "part
number" subcommand.
In the discussion for v1 of that, it came up that there's a bit of
inconsistency in how much and what one can assume to be initialized in
'struct disk_partition' after a successful call of one of the
get_info* family of functions. Patch 1/2 tries to consolidate
that by making sure all ->get_info invocations go through a common
helper that at least always initializes the string members.
Quentin, I've taken the liberty of including your Acks, as the
incremental diff in patch 1 is quite minor, but do speak up if I
should not have done that.
