Note quite, the sentence I reused says "identical *or* very closely 
related".

Anyway, that's not up to me to decide, as what you suggest would mean to 
fix the DTS for OrangePi RV2 too.

I was just trying to share code for this board too in a very similar way 
to what was shared for OrangePi RV2, so that people can use the mainline 
kernel to collaborate and make support for this board better than the 
custom code produced by the board vendor...

Cheers
Michael.
