Some ChromeOS devices (atleast veyron speedy) have the first 8MiB of
the eMMC write protected and equipped with a dummy 'IGNOREME' GPT
header - instead of spewing error messages about it, just silently
try the backup GPT.

Note: this does not touch the gpt cmd writing/verifying functions,
those will still complain.

Could we add a Kconfig to control this? Other devices shouldn't have this code.

I suppose i can do that... but I will need to know all the devices
that do this -
I'd assume atleast jerry, minnie and speedy but maybe also rk3399
chromeos devices?

I'm thinking basically an ifdef around the check in is_gpt_valid and
let gcc optimize the rest of the code (test for 2) out, and then
select the Kconfig (ummm maybe CONFIG_IGNORE_CROS_IGNOREME_GPT or do
you have better ideas?) for the appropriate boards.

How about a new 'SUPPORT_CHROMEOS' Kconfig which implies your new
CONFIG below? You could enable it on configs/*chrome*

See if you can use

   if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_xx))

instead of #ifdef.

Maybe just CONFIG_CROS_GPT.
