Hello Michael,

Thanks for this patch!  Please, see some comments below.

For consistency and because it's a proper noun, this should be
s/Tinkerboard/Tinker Board/.

These two lines should read like this, to serve as references, with
an empty line afterwards, of course:

  [1] https://tinker-board.asus.com/series/tinker-board-3.html
  [2] https://tinker-board.asus.com/series/tinker-board-3s.html

The board .dts/.dtb files should include "-board", i.e. these should
be "rk3566-tinker-board-3.dtb" and "rk3566-tinker-board-3s.dtb"
instead, because there's no real need for shortening.  These boards
are simply named "Tinker Board", which should be preserved.

The same comment from above about the naming applies here (as well
as in other places), so we should have "rk3566-tinker-board-3.dtsi"
here instead.

For consistency and to avoid redundancy, the "Rockchip RK3566"
part should be removed.

Actually, the compatible should be "asus,rk3566-tinker-board-3"
instead, because there's no real need for shortening it.

This .dtsi file should be named "rk3566-tinker-board-3.dtsi" instead,
because there's no need for shortening.  Please see also a comment
above, regarding the naming.

This .dts file should be named "rk3566-tinker-board-3s.dts" instead,
because there's no need for shortening.

For consistency and to avoid redundancy, the "Rockchip RK3566"
part should be removed.

> +	compatible = "asus,rk3566-tinker-3s", "asus,rk3566-tinker-3", "rockchip,rk3566";

The compatibles should be as below instead, for the same reasons
as already explained above.

  "asus,rk3566-tinker-board-3s", "asus,rk3566-tinker-board-3", "rockchip,rk3566"

Though, perhaps it would be better to not include the "asus,rk3566-
tinker-board-3" part, because I think it's pretty much redundant.
