pieeprom-2025-01-27: 2712: Add PARTITION_WALK option (latest)
* Walk the partition table if the requested partition is not bootable
Previously, if the specified boot partition was not bootable the
bootloader would stop and advance to the next BOOT_ORDER. If the
new PARTITION_WALK option is set to 1 the bootloader will now
check each partition in turn starting from the specified partition
before advancing the BOOT_ORDER.
This feature is intended for use with A/B systems to handle the case
where autoboot.txt is missing / corrupted. This change enables
the system to failover to the next available bootable partition.
The autoboot.txt file is not scanned during the partition-walk
phase i.e. there is no recursive processing of autoboot.txt files.
This option is only supported on physical block devices
(SD, NVMe, USB) and not RAMDISK. USB assumes a single high speed
device, partition walks on multiple USB devices is not recommended
and may cause timeouts.
* Improve keyboard handling in boot menu
Try and make it more likely that we have enough time to perform key
detection.
Ignore mice, which were being enumerated and slowing things down.
