 almost certainly!

 we're reliant on you to help diagnose that!  can you please check the
GPIO line when the card is inserted, by using the gpio kernel module
(use 3.4 it's easier) flipping it to input and reading the entry?  it
could be that the manual-soldering of the mmc card slot was done
poorly.
