What mode are you running at actually? E.g. what is the ios file saying?
cat /sys/kernel/debug/mmcX/ios

Hm, maybe Marcel's recent fixes in our device tree are helpful?
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/165

Also make sure to have a complete pinmux such that alternative pins for
sdmmc4 are *not* muxed as sdmmc4.

Ok, and this is with the complete patchset applied correct?

Btw, what device tree are you using? Ouya is not upstream as far as I
can tell?
