Ah, yes.  I forgot to mention that I additionally enabled option
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION to get GPT partition support.

@Fabio, can we add this option as well?

I booted the board into Debian via NFS, and then use gpart to create GPT
partitions on the eMMC.  With CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION enabled in U-Boot, I
can list the partitions on eMMC as below.

=> mmc dev 2
switch to partitions #0, OK
mmc2(part 0) is current device
=> mmc part

Partition Map for MMC device 2  --   Partition Type: EFI

Part    Start LBA       End LBA         Name
        Attributes
        Type GUID
        Partition GUID

        guid:   9e79dc0b-35d9-40f0-b638-3e718362cb26
=> fastboot 0
 
At this point, I can do 'fastboot flash system system.img' from host PC.
