As the boot order in the kernel continues to change, sometimes it may happen that the eSDHC controller mmc@2150000 (the one for eMMC) gets probed before the one at mmc@2140000 (for external SD cards). The effect is that the eMMC controller gets the /dev/mmcblk0 name, and the SD card gets /dev/mmcblk1. Since the introduction of this SoC, that has never happened in practice, even though it was never guaranteed in theory. Setting "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2" in /proc/cmdline has always caused the kernel to use the second partition from the SD card as the rootfs. The NXP development boards are typically shipped with either - LSDK, which uses "root=UUID=", or - OpenIL, which uses "root=/dev/mmcblkNp2" So for OpenIL, let's preserve that old behavior by adding some aliases which create naming consistency (for LSDK it doesn't matter): - the SD card controller uses /dev/mmcblk0 - the eMMC controller uses /dev/mmcblk1 For the Kontron SL28 boards, Michael Walle says that they are shipped with "root=UUID=" already, so the probing order doesn't matter, but it is more natural to him for /dev/mmcblk0 to be the eMMC, so let's do it the other way around there. The aliases are parsed by mmc_alloc_host() in drivers/mmc/core/host.c.
