It's definitely the PMU or ATF that causes this.

If I use the 2018.1 ATF and PMU, the SDIO controller performance is okay with 
either the 2018.1 or 2018.3 kernel. With the 2018.3 release of PMU and ATF, 
the SD performance is horrible. I also noticed it stopped USB from working.

Maybe something in the PMU-kernel or ATF-kernel interface has changed and e.g. 
clock settings aren't properly communicated?
