From: Alison Chaiken <ali...@peloton-tech.com>
This patch provides support in u-boot for renaming GPT
partitions. The renaming is accomplished via new 'gpt swap'
and 'gpt rename' commands.
The 'swap' mode prints a warning if no matching partition names
are found. If only one matching name of a provided pair is found, it
renames the matching partitions to the new name.
Rewriting the partition table has the side-effect that all partitions
end up with "msftdata" flag set. The reason is that partition type
PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID is hard-coded in the gpt_fill_pte()
function. This does not appear to cause any harm.
Changes since v5:
-- The former 'gpt flip' is now 'gpt swap', which takes the two
arbitrary partition names it exchanges as command-line input.
-- A new command, 'gpt rename', now allows renaming of single,
specified partitions.
-- Updated README.gpt to reflect the changes.

+Renaming GPT partitions from U-Boot:
+====================================
+
+GPT partition names are a mechanism via which userspace and U-Boot can
+communicate about software updates and boot failure. The 'gpt guid',
+'gpt read', 'gpt rename' and 'gpt swap' commands facilitate
+programmatic renaming of partitions from bootscripts by generating and
+modifying the partitions layout string. Here is an illustration of
+employing 'swap' to exchange 'primary' and 'backup' partition names:
+
+U-BOOT> gpt swap mmc 0 primary backup
+
+Afterwards, all partitions previously named 'primary' will be named
+'backup', and vice-versa. Alternatively, single partitions may be
+renamed. In this example, mmc0's first partition will be renamed
+'primary':

+U-BOOT> gpt rename mmc 0 1 primary
