Wow, this is a long standing issue, called by others 'a feature'. Good 
that this has been finally solved.

Frankly, I would keep the MMC numbers the same as in u-boot and 
datasheets. 0 for the build-in eMMC and 2 for the SD-card. This would be 
much more natural. On the other hand, I would agree to do it differently 
only on Odroid HC1/HD2/MC1, which don't have build-in eMMC - just use 0 
there for the SD-card.
