Patches to make mmc block devices have static names have been proposed
in the past and rejected. I think the main reason is that the block
device names are (or can be) dynamic, so anything that assumes a
particular naming scheme is simply broken.

The correct solution is to use e.g. root=UUID=xxx or root=PARTUUID=xxx,
or similar techniques for other filesystems (e.g. /etc/fstab)
