SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/3] Add boot_enable attribute to eMMC device for boot mode operation selection

Hi Neil.
We can be enable boot partition using mmc-utils.
See this address.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/cjb/mmc-utils.git/commit/?id=7bd1320b2cb38f040ab5cf017d17e283496690bf

So, I don't think this patch is useful.
If you consider to be disable boot partition, you can try to update
mmc-utils base on the address I shared.

Thanks.
