See patch 2/5:

The 2835 has two SD controllers: The Arasan SDHCI controller that we
currently use, and a custom SD controller.  The custom one runs faster

sdhci-iproc drives the sdhci controller just fine, the new driver is for
the custom controller.  On the rpi3 you can even use both in parallel,
with the sdcard handled via custom sd controller and the wifi handled by
sdhci-iproc.
