We already have aliases in imx6qdl.dtsi. Existing Installations that hardcode
root=mmcblk2 _will_ be broken by this change. Installations that are fixed
by this change have never worked properly, because prior to commit fa2d0aa96941
("mmc: core: Allow setting slot index via device tree alias"), it depended
on probe order and/or whether a card was present.
Whether SD/eMMC comes first or if they start at 0 or 2 is just cosmetic.
The alias order corresponds with the order in the data sheet and that's a
good default and I see no reason to change this here and risk breakage.
I thus don't think this patch should go mainline.
Thanks,
Ahmad
