This works around a situation discovered after flashing Retroid recovery images for the Retroid Pocket Mini V2 and then attempting to install the ROCKNIX ABL. The primary GPT partition table for the block device containing the ABL partitions is corrupt, and so they cannot be found. Adding 'gpt' to the kernel cmdline resolves this. After flashing the ROCKNIX ABL the primary partition table is no longer corrupt.

This works around a situation discovered after flashing Retroid recovery images for the Retroid Pocket Mini V2 and then attempting to install the ROCKNIX ABL. The primary GPT partition table for the block device containing the ABL partitions is corrupt, and so they cannot be found. Adding 'gpt' to the kernel cmdline resolves this since the backup GPT partition table is fine. After flashing the ROCKNIX ABL the primary partition table is no longer corrupt.
Details of Retroid recovery image flashing and partition table corruption can be found on this PR: #3127
