    It is is sometimes desired to be able to skip decrementing the number of
    tries remaining in an Android A/B boot, and instead just check which
    slot will be tried later. This can commonly be be the case for platforms
    that want to A/B u-boot itself, but are required to boot from a FAT MBR
    partition. In these cases, u-boot must do an early check that the MBR
    points to the correct A/B boot partition, and if not rewrite the MBR to
    point to the correct one and reboot. Decrementing the try count in this
    case is not desired because it means that each u-boot might constantly
    ping-pong overwriting the MBR and rebooting until all the retries are
    used up.
