Hello! Now I tested kernel with reverted commit bb32e1987bc5 ("mmc:
sdhci-xenon: fix annoying 1.8V regulator warning") and issue is still
fixed. I reverted also bb32e1987bc5 ("mmc: sdhci-xenon: fix annoying
1.8V regulator warning") commit and then issue appeared again.

So any of this commit is fixing that issue on Armada 3720.

Should we revert one of them?
