Perhaps I could revamp the FAT/ext4 patches so that they don't use the default weak function, and if you use the "get it at runtime" behaviour on any build which doesn't actually have a real platform mmc_get_env_dev() function, the build fails.  That would be sane, but might involve a separate explicit config option instead of just "the DEVICE_AND_PART option starts with a colon".
