Your patch changes the default behaviour for all rk3188 uarts, while the patch 
description suggests a Radxa Rock specific problem.
On my preproduction Radxa Rock the issue is not present, but I think I 
remember reading somewhere, that the diodes where added in the mass-production 
model.

So I've dug a bit through different sources:

- the schematics of another rk3188 based device, did not use diodes for the 
uarts like the Radxa, but

- the default values for pull configuration supports your observation:
	gpio1-0: pull-up
	gpio1-1: pull down [currently also none]
	gpio1-4: pull up
	gpio1-5: pull-down
		and so on for the two other pin-groups.

- and rockchip vendor kernels do not seem to change the uart pull configs

I've tested both your patch + enabling the pull down for the txd pin too. Both 
variants work on my radxa.

So I agree with you but would like to determine if we should also set the txd 
to pull down in one go, to restore the default pull setting of these pins or 
should leave them as is.
Thoughts?
