Perfect!

And seems you found the correct function because after
mmc_set_initial_state() in mmc_get_op_cond() is code:

	/* Reset the Card */
	err = mmc_go_idle(mmc);

And in emmc spec is written:
"All the reset events (CMD0 or hardware reset) will restore the access by default to the User Data Area."

So we really need to read EXT_CSD_PART_CONF before that reset.

Access is set to second boot partition which matches the boot source in
BootROM.

Access is second boot partition which matches your setup.

> 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

Also matches as access is to first boot partition.

> 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

And this also matches as access is also to first boot partition.

And this access is to user area.

In my opinion we need to read access bits of EXT_CSD_PART_CONF before
that mmc_go_idle() which resets the card, and store them to
mmc->part_config. Then in mmc_startup_v4() ensures that we do not
overwrite access bits of mmc->part_config as we know that at this stage
access bits in EXT_CSD_PART_CONF are already reset.
