The title is misleading. You are comparing different sources. This is
not a regression. This is merely a difference.

If we are talking about mainline, then which board is it ? What is the
corresponding DT ? What is the MMC configuration in both case ? Have
you checked you are running with the same clock configuration to begin
with ?

This cannot help indentify a downstream kernel, and the infinite number
of forks and patches associated with it.
