Subject: [PATCH v3 08/10] mmc: block: Support partition-table scanning on boot partitions

Some NVIDIA Tegra devices store partition table on a boot eMMC partition,
and thus, boot partitions need to be scanned. This patch enables scanning
of the boot MMC partitions, but only if MMC host allows to do that. This
patch adds new scan_mmc_boot_partitions field to the struct MMC host,
which should be set to true by the platform-specific SDHCI drivers if
MMC boot partitions scanning is desired.
