Hi Robin, and thanks for caring, it's excellent to rely on your
extensive expertise on ARM in general and RK3399 specifically!

However, on my board I'm positive it does not work without proposed
patch and I get stuck with x1 link without it.

There are currently very similar patches applied downstream to Armbian
and OpenWRT so at least I'm confident that is not only my board which is
quirky and other people experienced the same problem.

Thanks,
Geraldo Nascimento
