>From eMMC spec 4.3, eMMC will have 2 boot partition called boot partitions
, and general partition called user partition
For robust disign , Boot partition will not be able to use wear leave . so
it should be use as SLC design (against user partition MLC )and make a
backup
And on Ti chip , these 2 partition CAN NOT used as boot partition , while
in FSL and QUANTUM , their boot rom can boot from these 2 (only depend on
the boot flag in extCSD[179])

You can read the imx 6 Reference manual for more detail about this .
