I can't see the point here: I don't think it matters wether you or I
actually have this version on any of our boards. It exists: you may like it
or not.

This picture was actually a reply to your claim "... so we have never seen
the silk screen printed with RK3528 ... "  in your mail dated 2025/07/19.

Initially my only question was, why we don't use "rockchip,rk3528a" as
compatible when working on boards where the silkscreens says exactly that.
It was obviously copied from vendor and now it's "too late", "too
complicated" or something, idk and I'm fine with it.

Please read the rest of my previous reply where I sent code locations
where and how they do.
