Yes, EXT_CSD[179] is configurable register, you can change boot
partition bits (those are non-volatile) via your favorite emmc config
tool. U-Boot has also tool "mmc partconf" which can do that. But you
first need to be able enter into u-boot console and also you need to
enable this tool your board config file.

Ok, I can change "reserved values" to panic().

About "booting is disabled" - I do not think that panic is correct here.
See inline comments in code. Rather do the correct thing - skip emmc and
let SPL to boot from next source. But some message needs to be printed
here why emmc was skipped....
