[PATCH] arm64: dts: rockchip: add enable-strobe-pulldown to emmc phy on rk3399

[Jensen Huang]

Hi,

Thanks!
I understand that this patch does potentially affect boards with
external pull down.
To avoid this, I will move `enable-strobe-pulldown` to
rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi and send patch v2.


BR,
Jensen
