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.
