Playing with aliases always gets confused and might get a different
behavior, IMHO. Detect the dev number by U-Boot itself and look at
traverse bootenv by all possible dev numbers in sunxi-common.h, but
this has one slide effect that we mark mmc2 as devnum 1 for the sake
of fastboot so if we mark fastboot number for specific board properly
(by static or runtime) then explicit aliases wouldn't required.
