After looking on the changlog most possible cause of it seems to be
commit 9ad3b55654455258a9463384edb40077439d879f:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=9ad3b55654455258a9463384edb40077439d879f

Please try to revert it, and see if that improve rx signal level. 

It that would not help, please try to narrow regression to two
consecutive kernel versions - it is: 4.19 -> 5.0 or 5.0 -> 5.1
or 5.1 -> 5.2 ?
