Thanks for the hint. 

It took me a while to figure out how to make the downgrade work.

Installing old linux-image package is not enough.

One must also run "flash-kernel --force 4.4.0-1-armmp-lpae" otherwise, the card 
still boots on linux 4.5 kernel.

Note that any linux-image upgrade will reruns flash-kernel which, by defaults, 
sets the boot to use latest kernel.

All the best
