There is an earlier bug report asking for a revert of that patch:

Is your problem maybe similar to the one above?

Ciao, Thorsten

All the stable kernels (6.7.y and 6.8.y) work on the Orange Pi 5, which has the Rockchip RK3588S SoC (same as the RK3588, but less I/O basically). So, being an owner of only two SBCs which use the RK3588* SoC, it appears that the Rock 5 Model B's DT is incorrect.

Though I doubt that the later is the issue because if that were the issue, _someone_ with a Pine64 Pinebook Pro would've raised alarms. So far, this seems to be related to the `rk3588-rock-5b.dts` and possibly with the `rk3588s-rock-5a.dts` too.
