FWIW, note that in RK3399's case the SoC itself provides no logical 
numbering to follow - the pin groups are named "EMMC", "SDIO0" and 
"SDMMC0" in the datasheet, while the TRM uses "emmc", "sdio" and "sdmmc" 
in signal and register names.

If the SoC *does* have an inherent notion of numbered interfaces, I 
would agree that following that numbering is the most logical thing to do.
