Great, so no technical reason :-)

Yeah, remaining boards can be updated in a separate/follow-up series.

Great and good to know.

I will test this series and try to add domain-supply for GPU and NPU on
a few rk356x boards, should help avoid possible issues in future.

Will also send a U-Boot series to enable RK806 PMIC support on a few
more rk3588 boards, should help ensure always-on/boot-on PMIC regulators
are enabled before Linux is started.
