I've tested your patches on TBS A711 tablet (A83T). I get this in the log:

  sunxi-mmc 1c10000.mmc: fatal err update clk timeout

Interestingly, this only happens after the first boot. If I hard power cycle the
tablet (removing/reinserting the battery) the first boot after that, there's no
timeout, and WiFi chip connected to the mmc controller works.

Any other reboot (even power cycling via PMIC), it fails with the above error.
Maybe there's some unforeseen interaction of runtime PM with mmc-powerseq used
for the wifi chip power seuencing? Do you know what's the above error about?
I don't know anything about mmc subsystem.

Reverting "mmc: sunxi: Add runtime_pm support" (+ various cleanup patches
afterwards) helps.

thank you and regards,
  o.
