sd_emmc_a is (almost?) always the iface used for SDIO devices, which are
not always present.
I would recommend we go with a single mapping in the top-level .dtsi
SD card -> mmc0 (sd_emmc_b)
eMMC -> mmc1 (sd_emmc_c)
SDIO -> mmc2 (sd_emmc_a)
it's not exactly obvious why we don't go 0,1,2 == A,B,C but just
document it in the top-level .dtsi.
This approach also has the benefit of having the devices show up how
many/most boards showed up before the async probe changes.
