I also tried to compile kernel for myself and tried the torvalds 4.19 sources. Both with similar results. 4.4 kernel works without problems.

Is usage of eMMC module currently impossible with mainline kernel?
I have the exact same fault with 4.18 rc8 from Ayufan, never a problem with 4.4. I suspect it is fixable - my guess is something DTS? But way beyond my skills so have to sit and wait. (I was gonna wait till Ayufan does a 4.18 "final" release and then figure a thread on what works/does not at 4.18. Because the memory and NVMe stuff is really enticing, it is a question if I can work around the limitations. e.g. also lots of modules missing in Ayufan rc builds, e.g. btusb)
