That seems like a reasonable way for the code to work. However, you'd
need to modify common/env_mmc.c:init_mmc_for_env() so that it saves off
mmc->part_num before switching MMC partitions, so that
fini_mmc_for_env() knows which partition to switch back to. Right now,
it relies on the fact that mmc_switch_part() does not update
mmc->part_num, and hence uses that value to save the previously selected
partition ID.

Also, if you make this change, I think you can update
common/cmd_mmc.c:do_mmcops(), since it will no longer need to update
mmc->part_num after a successful switch.
