Hi Vinay,

Thanks for the patch!

This is unnecessary as U-Boot can detect whether it's running on a Rock 
5B, Rock 5B+ or even Rock 5T and select the appropriate device tree to 
use with the Linux kernel. What's important then is that this device 
tree is available to U-Boot, which it isn't at the moment.

I would recommend to instead advertise support for the Rock 5B+ (and 
Rock 5T) in the README via the rock-5b machine and in the 
conf/machine/rock-5b.conf at the top of the file, and then simply add 
the Rock 5B+ and Rock 5T device trees to KERNEL_DEVICETREE in that 
machine conf file, see board_models in 
board/radxa/rock5b-rk3588/rock5b-rk3588.c in U-Boot for reference.

This will avoid increasing the number of machines to build for to 
validate meta-rockchip still works as expected (I believe Trevor does 
that every now and then).

Cheers,
Quentin
