MMC core doesn't not imply MMC_BLOCK. You could well use SDIO devices via MMC without any flash storage whatsoever.
What I want to say is that MMC_BLOCK already depends on BLOCK. MMC, however, has no such functional dependence, as it
just (effectively) provides bus and device enumeration. So I think the better solution is wrapping all MMC partition
code within mmc/core/mmc.c and card.h with CONFIG_BLOCK.
