I am wondering if this code,

```auto
	// First check if mountCandidate matches rootDevice
	if mountCandidate != "" {
		if rootChecker(p, mountCandidate, rootDevice) {
			p.active = mountCandidate
			log.Debugf("Setting active partition from mount candidate: %s", p.active)
			return p.active, nil
		}
		// If mount candidate does not match root device check if we have a match in ENV
		if checkBootEnvAndRootPartitionMatch(bootEnvBootPart, mountCandidate) {
			p.active = mountCandidate
			log.Debug("Setting active partition: ", mountCandidate)
			return p.active, nil
		}
		// If not see if we are lucky somewhere else
	}

```

Should be converted to:

```auto
	// First check if mountCandidate matches rootDevice and ENV
	if mountCandidate != "" {
		if rootChecker(p, mountCandidate, rootDevice) && checkBootEnvAndRootPartitionMatch(bootEnvBootPart, mountCandidate) {
			p.active = mountCandidate
			log.Debugf("Setting active partition from mount candidate: %s", p.active)
			return p.active, nil
		}
		// If not see if we are lucky somewhere else
	}

```

@kacf, any input?
