OK that seems logical.
If this goes in, make a mental note to patch udev default rules too, because currently they look like this:
rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules:KERNEL=="mmcblk[0-9]", SUBSYSTEMS=="mmc", ATTRS{name}=="?*", ATTRS{serial}=="?*", ENV{ID_NAME}="$attr{name}", ENV{ID_SERIAL}="$attr{serial}", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/mmc-$env{ID_NAME}_$env{ID_SERIAL}" rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules:KERNEL=="mmcblk[0-9]p[0-9]", ENV{ID_NAME}=="?*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/mmc-$env{ID_NAME}_$env{ID_SERIAL}-part%n"
(I guess Android also has this kind of rule baked into its "big init" process that handles also what udev normally takes care of.)
