Hi Mattijs,
sorry, my bad: I exported from the wrong branch, as I was working on the
latest release, not from main.
Resending it.
Sorry for the mistake.

Hi Federico,
Thank you for the patch.

The fastboot module has a bug that prevents some command to work
properly on devices that haven't an Android-like partition scheme, that
is, just one spl and one kernel partition, instead of the redundant
scheme with _a and _b slots.
This is the schema of our NAND storage (board is based on an AllWinner
A33 sunxi chip):
=> mtdparts
device nand0 <1c03000.nand>, # parts = 4
#: name size net size offset mask_flags
0: spl 0x00020000 0x00020000 0x00000000 0
1: uboot 0x00100000 0x00100000 0x00020000 0
2: kernel 0x00400000 0x00400000 0x00120000 0
3: ubi 0x07ae0000 0x079e0000 (!) 0x00520000 0
active partition: nand0,0 - (spl) 0x00020000 @ 0x00000000
This happens when we try to erase the spl partition using fastboot:
$ fastboot erase spl
Erasing 'spl_a' FAILED (remote: 'invalid NAND device')
fastboot: error: Command failed
The error occurs because getvars fails to handle the error returned by
nand layer when a partition cannot be found.
Indeed, getvar_get_part_info returns what is returned by
fastboot_nand_get_part_info (0 on success, 1 on failure) but it should
return -ENODEV or -EINVAL instead. Since the cause of failure is not
returned by the nand function, I decided to return -EINVAL to make it
simple.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to apply this. I've tried using b4 and via git am.

I've also tried to apply the one that has been send yesterday

but I'm encountering the same problem.
