Existing sunxi code has MMC_SUNXI_SLOT_EXTRA if the board has second
MMC device, like eMMC which make default env or fastboot device as 1.
But with DT definitions eMMC can be probed as mmc2 which can fail to
get env and fastboot setups.

This override mmc2 to as mmc1 can satisfy the existing code
identification. I did many code changes to get rid of DT changes but
it became hard to get via those[1], patch 27 to 31

Yes, but as per current usage no board is using all together, if some
board is using then, it's their duty to enable the same via defconfig
in future.
