Sorry for the confusion! After further investigation it turns out this
RFC patch is a hack, and should be ignored. You are right, the issue
was in E850-96 board file. It was reading a firmware from MMC in
board_init(), which indirectly probed the MMC driver before
efi_early_init(). I took care of that in this series [1].

Thanks!
