uBoot broken on RPI2 Model B?

Just tried to build -13STABLE for the RPi2 and ran into this (I'm using 
Crochet and have had to make some changes to the board-specific files, 
but it appears the problem that results in it not working is in uboot; 
I've made a number of changes since it looks like the system now wants 
to boot off EFI as opposed to what worked in -12, which would be ok if 
it can find the boot device -- I think (may be wrong here)

U-Boot 2023.01 (Jan 26 2023 - 04:25:18 +0000)

DRAM:  948 MiB
RPI 2 Model B (0xa21041)

MMC:   mmc@7e300000: 1
Loading Environment from FAT... ** Bad device specification mmc 0 **

Needless to say if I let it try to continue it fails as it can't find 
the SD card and "mmc dev" shows nothing present.

Obviously going to dig into this further myself but I recalled something 
about this uBoot version being broken on older Pis...

The layout of the disk on the boot partition is thus:

Which I BELIEVE should work -- assuming that I can get "see" the SD card 
from u-boot that is....
