No sure I understand.
MMC appears to work (passes the ID phases - which was the problem
before) but fitImage (or dtb) you get is not correct out of eMMC read,
is not correct ?

Have you checked the content ? some checksum maybe ?

What does 'mmc info' reports on boot and reboot (when it fails or not) ?
