Oh, that's very interesting, thanks for pointing it out!

What makes me a bit worried about enabling the undocumented HS400 mode
on the RK3568 is that neither the RK3568 Hardware Design Guide (HDG),
version 1.2, [2] mentions HS400 support.  I mean, the RK3568 datasheet
may be wrong about not mentioning HS400, but what are the chances for
the RK3568 HDG to also be wrong there?

In other words, maybe there are some hard-to-trigger hardware issues
in the RK3568 that made the HS400 mode, although actually present in
hardware, officially unsupported for the RK3568?  Maybe there's even
some non-public errata from Rockchip, who knows.
