Apparently, there are three partition devices,
then we should definitely have corresponding efi_disk objects
as an efi_loader hook is registered against *POST_PROBE* event
(of a *block* device).

In my patch c822c1a50bd7 ("mmc: call device_probe() after scanning"),
device_probe() has already been installed to mmc_blk_probe().

Thinking of those circumstances, the natural guess is a *probe* function
for "mmc at 1c0f000.blk" device has never been called in your use case
(even when loading an image from a specific partition, /boot/efi?).

To confirm this, you may simply try the followings:
=> mmc list
   ...
=> mmc dev 0 (<- the device number from 'mmc list')
=> efi devices

Then you will find three more efi_disk objects now that the parent
block device is *probed*.

Actually, loading an image does *not* invoke a probe function at all
under the current implementation (of either "part" command,
scan_dev_for_boot_part or even mmc drivers?).

I think that this is weird as the purpose of "probe" is to activate
the device, or "probe - make a device ready for use" according to
    doc/develop/driver-model/design.rst

So my conclusion is that the current implementation has already broken
the driver model even before my patch was applied.
        -> Simon, you should have a comment here?

That said, fixing a problem is a different matter.
Probably, we will have to modify "part" command or mmc drivers themselves.
