aspeed: Don't set always boot properties of the emmc device

Browse Source 
Commit e554e45b44 ("aspeed: Tune eMMC device properties to reflect
HW strapping") added support to boot from an eMMC device by setting
the boot properties of the eMMC device. This change made the
assumption that the device always has boot areas.

However, if the machine boots from the flash device (or -kernel) and
uses an eMMC device without boot areas, support would be broken. This
impacts the ast2600-evb machine which can choose to boot from flash or
eMMC using the "boot-emmc" machine option.

To provide some flexibility for Aspeed machine users to use different
flavors of eMMC devices (with or without boot areas), do not set the
eMMC device boot properties when the machine is not configured to boot
from eMMC. However, this approach makes another assumption about eMMC
devices, namely that eMMC devices from which the machine does not boot
do not have boot areas.

A preferable alternative would be to add support for user creatable
eMMC devices and define the device boot properties on the QEMU command
line :

  -blockdev node-name=emmc0,driver=file,filename=mmc-ast2600-evb.raw \
  -device emmc,bus=sdhci-bus.2,drive=emmc0,boot-partition-size=1048576,boot-config=8

This is a global change requiring more thinking. Nevertheless, in the
case of the ast2600-evb machine booting from an eMMC device and when
default devices are created, the proposed change still makes sense
since the device is required to have boot areas.
