I ran into this before, but with the barebox environment.
I 'solved' it by moving the environment out of the boot partition..
See d5285342d87 ("mci: skip of_partitions_register_fixup for boot partitions").

Yes.

How about:
- formalize the eMMC boot partitions binding with
a compatible = "barebox,emmc-bootpart" and change barebox to fix it up
into the kernel's device tree.
- have barebox_state handle this properly. You can check out how RAUC
(LGPL-2.1) does it.
