Subject[PATCH 0/2] sunxi: Enforce consistent MMC numbering
Date
Dealing with the inconsistent numbering has been a major pain, and
there is a solution with (as far as I can tell) no tangible downsides.
So let's use it.

Yes, I know the kernel supports UUIDs for root=. But UUIDs do not help
when referencing the whole, unpartitioned device, like is needed for
updating the bootloader and firmware. So for the use case of "write a
bootloader to the SD card, regardless of where the board is currently
booted from", I know of two options:
- Dig around in sysfs to find the mmc number from the MMIO address,
which means I have to know the MMIO addresses for every SoC, or
- Apply patches like these.
