Thanks for your patch.

Whitespace is broken (git send-email normally does the correct thing).
But are you aware that you can have your boot-target like:
bootm /dev/mmc0.fit at configuration1
and that configuration1 will be chosen? Does this already cover
your use case? If it does, a documentation patch adding this
information at the place where you didn't find it is surely
a welcome alternate contribution. ;)
(also generally speaking magicvars need to be documented with
BAREBOX_MAGICVAR).
Cheers,
Ahmad
