I see. So there are 2 options:
1.
Set the mapping for all 3 sd_emmc_* in the top-most .dtsi
Upside: very easy patch
Downside: When sd_emmc_a is not enabled "mmc0" will never be available.
Might be confusing.

2.
Set mapping only for enabled sd_emmc_* in the .dts[i] where it is enabled
Upside: Clean setup, only enabled sd_emmc_* have an alias
Downside: Much verbose patch(set)

Any preferences here? I honestly tend to 1. But this might break boards where
sd_emmc_a is not enabled, because the root device _will_ change in that case.

Best regards,
Alexander
