Downstream NVIDIA bootloader provides gpt_sector=<sector> kernel command line option to the kernel. This option should instruct the GPT partition parser to look at the specified sector for a valid GPT header if the GPT is not found at the beginning or the end of a block device. Support of this feature is needed by Tegra-based devices that have TegraPT and GPT placed in inaccessible by kernel locations. The GPT entry duplicates TegraPT partitions. Secondly, some Tegra-based devices have bootloader that enforces the GPT scanning of the backup/alternative GPT entry by providing "gpt" cmdline option to the kernel, but doesn't provide the "gpt_sector" option. In this case GPT entry resides at a special offset from the end of eMMC storage. It is a common situation for older bootloader versions. The offset is calculated as a total number of eMMC sectors minus number of eMMC boot sectors minus 1. This equation is explicitly defined and used by the downstream Tegra kernels for locating GPT entry.
