change itself looks good to me and also works, so
Reviewed-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@xxxxxxxxx>

But we also have an overlooked glitch in the new rk3399-gru devicetrees
that surfaces with this patch applied.
../arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-gru-kevin.dts:47:57: fatal error: include/dt-bindings/input/linux-event-codes.h: File or directory not found
#include <include/dt-bindings/input/linux-event-codes.h>
so need the patch from Ian Campbell
"arm64: dts: rockchip: Drop explicit "include/" prefix from #include" [0]
in front to not cause other build breakage.
So if applicable, both patches should go in together, with the gru patch
in front and I've added my Reviewed-by there if someone else is doing it.
