On embedded devices, often there is a combination of
removable mmc devices (e.g. MMC/SD cards) and hard
wired ones (e.g. eMMC). Depending on the hardware
configuration, the 'mmcblkN' node might change if
the removable device is available or not at boot time.

E.g. if the removable device is attached at boot time,
it might become mmxblk0. And the hard wired one mmcblk1.
But if the removable device isn't there at boot time,
the hard wired one will become mmcblk0. This makes it
somehow difficult to hard code the root device to the
non-removable device and boot fast.

Why not use "root=PARTUUID=${uuid}" option instead of relying on mmcblk no?
U-Boot can easily detect your partuuid. Refer to [1] on how TI platforms
does this in u-boot.

Good tip ... I do not know, if it is possible to update U-Boot
on this boards...

Current U-Boot says:
U-Boot 2013.01.01_heads/master-gc7900a0 (2015-05-06 - 20:37:15)

I2C: ready
DRAM: 512 MiB
[...]
U-Boot# mmc rescan
U-Boot# mmc part

Partition Map for MMC device 0 -- Partition Type: DOS

Part Start Sector Num Sectors UUID Type
1 63 144522 000ce343-01 0e Boot
2 144585 659861 000ce343-02 83
U-Boot# part uuid mmc 0:2 uuid
Unknown command 'part' - try 'help'

So, if this patch has no chance for mainline, please let me
know it, thanks!

bye,

Dirk Behme tried to bring this in, last mail I found:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-July/111022.html
where Dirk worked in Arnds suggestion to use the
"/aliases" device node"

I adapt this to the omap_hsmmc driver.

Is there another solution for this problem?
Or why was this patch not accepted to mainline?
