As for whether this works as described on a ROCK64 for glmark2-es2-wayland:

Tested-by: Nicolas Frattaroli <frattaroli.nicolas@...il.com>

There is some stuff worth noting that LibreELEC does on this SoC[1]:

1. they use 1.05V for all OPPs up to and including 400 MHz
2. they run 500 MHz at 1.15V instead (though 1.10V seemed to work for both of 
us)
3. they disable 500 MHz because 1.15V was apparently too high for rkvdec.

3 is currently not very relevant because mainline Linux has no rkvdec node in 
the rk3328 dtsi, and we're not running at 1.15V.

I've decided to add their rkvdec dtsi patch[2] on top anyway, and saw no 
complaints from the rkvdec module while glmark2-es2-drm was running. However, 
it's not like I tried to actually hardware decode video while it was running 
because the userspace situation still won't let me without compiling entirely 
too much stuff from git. Though the rkvdec module was loaded and present.
