We consider rk3568 as a full implementation and rk3566 is a subset, all 
the dts compatible string for
driver should go with string 'rk3568', and rk3568 will be the long term 
version and definitely have more
boards  in next few years. So we would like to upstream rk3568 first and 
follow the implement mode
of PX30+RK3326, which can also cover the need by RK3566.

We can have a rk3566.dtsi like rk3326.dtsi.


Thanks,
