[PATCH u-boot 3/4] sunxi: eMMC: Add comments explaining mapping between bootpart and mmc_switch_part()

Mapping between bootpart taken from EXT_CSD_EXTRACT_BOOT_PART() and
Partition Access bits used by the mmc_switch_part() function may be quite
misleading. So add extended comment describing why in sunxi case is this
mapping just a simple identity. Because in generic case this mapping
requires non-trivial mapping table.
