Fixes: 21b2cec61c04 ("mmc: Set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS for drivers that existed in v4.4")
From the description it sounds like this problem has always existed
but the async probe just tickled it reliably.  Seems like it'd make
sense to tag the "Fixes" as some earlier commit so you make sure your
fix gets picked to kernels even if they don't have the async probe
patch?
Hmm, maybe
Fixes: 04abaf07f6d5 ("ARM: OMAP2+: omap_device: Sync omap_device and
pm_runtime after probe defer")

But on the other hand to stable branches only such patches are applied
which solve pratical problems not only theoretical problems. But maybe
it solves several random issues where nobody took care to debug them.

That would be since v4.11.
I guess maybe best is to include both.  Then if someone is debugging
why their async probe is failing they will notice this commit, but
they also might decide to pick it earlier just to be safe...
OK I'll add the above fixes tag too and apply this into fixes.
It might be too late, but...
