It is but from what I have read in the spec for flash in general (this
is not limited to eMMC but also apply to UFS) these are hardware
partition. If the version is high enough these are always present and
have boot0 and boot1 name hardcoded by the driver.

This is really for the 2 special partition up to check the suffix, we
don't really care about the name. I guess it's acceptable to use
unstable identifier?

Thanks a lot for the review!
