[PATCH] arm64: dts: rockchip: Remove workaround that prevented Turing RK1 GPU power regulator control

The RK3588 GPU power domain cannot be activated unless the external
power regulator is already on. When GPU support was added to this DT,
we had no way to represent this requirement, so `regulator-always-on`
was added to the `vdd_gpu_s0` regulator in order to ensure stability.
A later patch series (see "Fixes:" commit) resolved this shortcoming,
but that commit left the workaround -- and rendered the comment above
it no longer correct.

Remove the workaround to allow the GPU power regulator to power off, now
that the DT includes the necessary information to power it back on
correctly.
