your changing a core rk3399 property here, so I'd really like to get
input from other board stakeholders on this before applying a core
change.

Could you either include the submitters of other rk3399-boards in the
recipient list so that they're aware or limit the change to rockpro64 for
the time being (aka overriding the property in the board-dts) please?

Thanks
Heiko
