Bug#765621: Limit on number of MMC partitions

Version: 3.16.5-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

during a test of DI-B2 on an embedded device, at the partitioning stage,
selecting
   1) "Guided - use entire disk" mode, and then
   2) "Separate var,tmp,home partitions"
failed with an error when attempting to process partition #8.

This is because no /dev/mmcblk0p8 existed. Unless I'm mistaken, this is
because the config [1] has:

    CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS=8

Could this be increased to at 16 so that this guide partition mode can
succeed?

Regards,
Christian
