can this somehow change the order in which the MMC drivers end up loading?
on Amlogic SoCs we have up to three MMC controllers, some SoCs even
use two different MMC controller IPs (and therefore two different
drivers).
so far the MMC controller naming (/dev/mmcblk* etc.) was consistent -
can that change with this patch?

apologies if this has been discussed and answered anywhere


Best regards,
Martin
