While booting if SD card is present in the card slot, SD is detected
as /dev/mmcblk0
and eMMC as /dev/mmcblk1
If SD card is not present, then eMMC is detected as /dev/mmcblk0
When filesystem is in eMMC then bootargs has to switch between mmcblk0
or mmcblk1
depending on whether SD is present or not.

By changing the device order, eMMC will always be mmcblk0 independent
of SD card status.
