Here is what I meant.
We have two boot partitions on MMC: boot0 and boot1.
And two kernels on MMC: "kernel-a" and "kernel-b".

I want to have a way to determine the current boot partition to
implement the algorithm in the boot script:
if (boot0 == currect_boot_partition())
    boot("kernel-a")
if (boot1 == currect_boot_partition())
    boot("kernel-b")

With this patch it is possible to write:

if mmc partconf ${mmcdev} 1; then
    echo "::::: booted from boot0"
    ...
fi
if mmc partconf ${mmcdev} 2; then
    echo "::::: booted from boot1"
    ...
fi

I will rework it and introduce a new mmc command for this specific action.
