Did you see the strings in the uclass drivers? E.g.:
UCLASS_DRIVER(mmc) = {
.id = UCLASS_MMC,
.name = "mmc",
.flags = DM_UC_FLAG_SEQ_ALIAS,
.per_device_auto_alloc_size = sizeof(struct mmc_uclass_priv),
};

I don't understand this. The same is defined for all uclasses that can
have a block device as a child.

No, only one is supported.
