Isn't this what CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS is for?  It does limit you to 
256 minors total, and therefore the number of supported MMC's is equal 
to 256/CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS, but I've never heard of an Android 
device with support for more than 4 MMC/SD cards (including eMMC's), and 
I would seriously question anyone who has the need for more than 32 
partitions on the root device for a phone/tablet/television.
