Typically "fatinfo mmc 0". The command is of the format "fatinfo <interface> 
<dev[:part]>"

Interface is important for common/cmd_fat.c function get_dev() where it 
calls a different function for each name. It passes the device number to a 
function mmc_get_dev which is probably in your cpu-specific files unless 
something has changed since 1.1.5. My at91 mmc/sd implementation is quite 
simple because I only support one device. I completely ignore the dev 
parameter and return a pointer for the only device available on my system.
