so far SDIO on kernel 4.7 has been pretty bad for me, the kernel is unusable with an SDIO wifi driver in a Baytrail-based device.
You are not alone.
So far I've heard quite a few bad things about this release (or rc versions so far), broken AMD drivers (freezes and heavy performance regressions in OGL), broken network drivers (increased latencies) and few unbootable systems (x86 platform drivers). Wouldn't be surprised if this went to rc8+ unless kernel falls get their shit together or linus throws some stuff out for next release.
Even tho I generally run automatically compiled daily git snapshots, for the moment I went back to 4.6 after having some drm freezes (admitedly with nvidia blob and extra patches). Normally I would report issues on bugtracker but I wasn't the only one complaining plus graphics freezes are pain to debug since getting kernel dumps is difficult and I'm too lazy to bisect broken patch as crashes happen randomly.
