We discovered this compilation issue when we disabled
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE while testing U-Boot proper loading from FAT32
on Cyclone V. In this setup, none of the sub-options -> _USE_PARTITION,
_USE_PARTITION_TYPE, or _USE_SECTOR, should be used or enabled, as SPL
simply loads U-Boot proper from FAT32. The raw/partition offsets are not
relevant in this case, ensuring a clean, consistent MMC layout across
our devkits.
Thanks.
