You were on a better track before. Why does the block drivre need to know about the partition types?
You should parse one array.

My earlier comment still stands - make your code look something like -

if (ext_csd[EXT_CSD_BOOT_MULT]) {
part_cfg = EXT_CSD_PART_CONFIG_ACC_BOOT0;
for (idx = 0; idx < MMC_NUM_BOOT_PARTITION; idx++) {
mmc_part_add(card, size, part_cfg++, "boot%d", part_cfg++,
"boot%d", idx, true)
}

> + struct mmc_part boot_part[MMC_NUM_BOOT_PARTITION]; /* mmc boot
> partitions */
> + struct mmc_part gp_part[MMC_NUM_GP_PARTITION]; /* mmc general
> purpose partitions */

struct mmc_part parts[MMC_NUM_BOOT_PARTITION + MMC_NUM_GP_PARTITION];
unsigned nr_parts;
