Just find RK3399 EVB to be broken when moving to new kernel two month 
ago. And I believe it will break more custom boards which follow the
vendor design.

It's recommended to use internal pulldown, so the default register value
already reflects the fact. It will let the board running HS400 all the
way from loader to kernel. If external pulldown is stuffed for certain
case, what we actually need is disable-strobe-pulldown, isn't it?
