I also play with a Lime2-eMMC board(rev K) these days,  but I found this
board could do reboot whatevery in u-boot or kernel when it boot from
emmc.  But it reboot well when it boot from sdcard.

 root at lime2:~#
root at lime2:~#
root at lime2:~#
root at lime2:~# reboot
[ 2089.632091] reboot: Restarting system

Can't see any further reboot log. unless i replug the power jack.





When I do reset from u-boot , it failed too:

I post these here hope to know if anyone meet the same situtation.
