Please note that this list is for the mainline U-Boot tree, and to
contact your TI reps for help with the TI trees. I'm answering in
general since I know how the mainline code works, and what I suspect
needs doing there in general to allow what you want to work:

It's possible that the ROM simply doesn't support a dos-style partition
table and a FAT partition on the eMMC boot partition so the right answer
here is to do what you're doing and hard-code raw only. I strongly
suspect this to be true, even.

Not quite true, no. You'll need code similar to what we have in
common/env_mmc.c to switch the partition to the boot partition.
