I think you missed this part. See more below.

But there is another side effect to this change. The code in spl_mmc.c
uses BOOT_DEVICE_MMC* macros to determine the boot device as I mentioned
above. These macros have nothing to do with usdhcX sequence
numbering. When usdhc1 is missing, BOOT_DEVICE_MMC1 refers to usdhc2
which happens to be the first probed device, and BOOT_DEVICE_MMC2
becomes usdhc3. This code is broken since commit 14d319b185.
spl_boot_device() can not blindly return BOOT_DEVICE_MMC{1,2} without
knowing which devices are actually available.
There must be some other way to achieve what you want without breaking
boot when usdhc1 is missing.

This patch deals with another issue that commit 14d319b185 causes. But
I'm afraid this patch can not fix boot for me, as explained above.
