You are correct Pali, it is preserved :)

The first time I can get the value is at the end of mmc_set_initial_state using:

static void mmc_set_initial_state(struct mmc *mmc)
{
   printf("+mmc_set_initial_state\n");
   int err;

   /* First try to set 3.3V. If it fails set to 1.8V */
   err = mmc_set_signal_voltage(mmc, MMC_SIGNAL_VOLTAGE_330);
   if (err != 0)
      err = mmc_set_signal_voltage(mmc, MMC_SIGNAL_VOLTAGE_180);
   if (err != 0)
      pr_warn("mmc: failed to set signal voltage\n");

   mmc_select_mode(mmc, MMC_LEGACY);
   mmc_set_bus_width(mmc, 1);
   mmc_set_clock(mmc, 0, MMC_CLK_ENABLE);
   ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER(u8, ext_csd, MMC_MAX_BLOCK_LEN);
   err = mmc_send_ext_csd(mmc, ext_csd);
   if (!err) {
      printf("++mmc_set_initial_state ext_csd[EXT_CSD_PART_CONF] =
%d\n", ext_csd[EXT_CSD_PART_CONF]);
   }
}

I set mmc partconf 0 0 0 0, zeroed the first boot area and loaded
u-boot in the second. I had a few extra attempts to call
mmc_send_ext_csd in earlier functions that timeout and a lot of extra
printfs:

<output>

U-Boot 2023.04-rc3-00159-gd1653548d2-dirty (Mar 19 2023 - 10:05:32 +1000)

SoC:   MV88F6828-A0 at 1600 MHz
DRAM:  1 GiB (800 MHz, 32-bit, ECC not enabled)
clearfog.c board_init part_config = 247
Core:  38 devices, 22 uclasses, devicetree: separate

</output>

When I set mmc partconf 0 0 2 2, I get:
++mmc_set_initial_state ext_csd[EXT_CSD_PART_CONF] = 18

When I load u-boot to the first boot area with mmc partconf 0 0 2 2, I get:
++mmc_set_initial_state ext_csd[EXT_CSD_PART_CONF] = 17

When I load u-boot to the first boot area with mmc partconf 0 0 0 0, I get:
++mmc_set_initial_state ext_csd[EXT_CSD_PART_CONF] = 1

When I zero both boot areas and load u-boot to the data/user area with
mmc partconf 0 0 0 0, I get:
++mmc_set_initial_state ext_csd[EXT_CSD_PART_CONF] = 0

I'm not sure where to take it from here, but I'm assuming we'll need
to stash that value somewhere so we can refer to it later.
