Uh, maybe gp%d are indexed from zero too ?

(sorry for the confusion)

but 'mmc hwpartition' does not list them 0 based:
u-boot=> mmc hwpartition
switch to partitions #0, OK
mmc2(part 0) is current device
Partition configuration:
        No enhanced user data area
        No GP1 partition
        No GP2 partition
        No GP3 partition
        No GP4 partition

I'm ok with either, I'm just not sure what is more understandable and standard.

I can confirm that JEDEC also starts the numbering of the GP
partitions from one in some of its documents.

Though, it's a bit intriguing why the numbering of the boot
partitions starts from zero.  Perhaps there's some good reason
for that difference.
