Thanks for your comment, will update.

First, it's obvious the comment and the real mmc number is not the same.
The reason why we need to make SD card have higher default priority is
if we have firmeware on both SD card and eMMC, that means we have normal
system in emmc, and SD card have a test purpose(for most developers) or
upgrade purpose(for factory or customer) firmware, so we should boot from
SD card first.
For the board with emmc, we won't have firmware on SD card in most case,
so it won't affect the existing system.
