eMMC block device names may change based on the detection order of
the eMMC device and any other SD bus devices, such as a removable SD
card.
This patch adds support to init for:
* Symlinks to block devices. When a block device uevent is
processed, if it starts with "/devices/platform", the platform
driver name is parsed out, and symlinks to the block device are
created in /dev/block/platform/<platform driver>/
* Symlinks based on partition name and number. If the uevent for
a block device contains information on the partition name or
number, symlinks are created under
/dev/block/platform/<platform driver>/by-num/p<partition>
and
/dev/block/platform/<platform driver>/by-name/<partition name>
init.rc can then use a device path like the following to mount an
eMMC device:
/dev/block/platform/<platform>/by-name/system /system ro
