Isn't this what CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS is for? It does limit you to
256 minors total, and therefore the number of supported MMC's is equal
to 256/CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS, but I've never heard of an Android
device with support for more than 4 MMC/SD cards (including eMMC's), and
I would seriously question anyone who has the need for more than 32
partitions on the root device for a phone/tablet/television.
