Hello Krzysztof,

Why this is not ready for review? Why this is RFC?
AFAIK, there's still no official downstream kernel code from Rockchip
that we can use to add support for the new Rockchip RK3582 (and RK3583)
SoC variants. These new variants seem to be like the RK3588(s), but
with some IP cores (i.e. CPU and GPU cores) disabled in software, due
to them being marked as defunct in efuses, as part of the manufacturing
and testing processes. Using the efuses, defunct IP cores get disabled
in U-Boot by patching the DT.
Thus, we still need to figure out precisely how to do that in U-Boot
first, before we can move on to adding the new bindings for the new SoC
variants. Jonas is already working on the U-Boot patches.
