I didn't realize that U-boot was supporting multiple environment candidates now. Will try to find another place to initialize mmc.

Do I understand correctly that you will always initialize the MMC sub-system if it is a candidate for reading the environment, even when the environment is read from elsewhere? In this case I hereby NAK this patch. U-Boot shall always use lazy initialization and never ever initialize hardware which it does not really use - see especially item 2 at [1].

[U-Boot] [PATCH] env: mmc/fat/ext4: make sure that the MMC sub-system is initialized before using it
When booting from a non-MMC device, the MMC sub-system may not be initialized when the environment is first accessed. We need to make sure that the MMC sub-system is ready in even a non-MMC boot case. Therefore, initialize mmc during .init() of environment.
