Yes, linux-next with above mentioned commits reverted works fine.

It looks that for some reasons $subject patch changes the default zone 
and swiotlb configuration.

Indeed this looks like a source of the problem:

[    3.123618] Synopsys Designware Multimedia Card Interface Driver
[    3.139653] dwmmc_rockchip fe2b0000.mmc: IDMAC supports 32-bit 
address mode.
[    3.147739] dwmmc_rockchip fe2b0000.mmc: Using internal DMA controller.
[    3.161659] dwmmc_rockchip fe2b0000.mmc: Version ID is 270a
[    3.168455] dwmmc_rockchip fe2b0000.mmc: DW MMC controller at irq 
56,32 bit host data width,256 deep fifo
[    3.182651] dwmmc_rockchip fe2b0000.mmc: Got CD GPIO

...

[   11.009258] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   11.014762] dwmmc_rockchip fe2b0000.mmc: swiotlb addr 
0x00000001faf00000+4096 overflow (mask ffffffff, bus limit 0).
