I just got to test v2019.10-rc1, which includes this change, and I'm
unable to boot SPL on my Hummingboard 2, which uses USDHC-2 for
sdcard.

Looks like this change breaks devices that are not using device
tree/dynamic mmc initialization, as the MMC index will not necessarily
be correct.

Looking at mx6cuboxi.c in particular, fsl_esdhc_initialize will only
be called once as it already knows which MMC device to initialize
based on the BOOT_CFG register, causing the device mmc devnum to be 1
only. The issue shows up when booting SPL as find_mmc_device will look
for a matching dev_num index, which gets automatically increased when
fsl_esdhc_initialize gets called (and which is only called once in my
case, for MMC2).

This is not an issue with imx6q_logic as at
8f4691e31a18254d225524a4b018b8cbcddc70b1 you removed
fsl_esdhc_initialize, but all the other boards using MMC2 and doing
only one single call will have the same problem.

Not sure if there is an easy fix here, but converting everything to
dynamic mmc initialization will required quite a bit of effort.

Thanks,
