[PATCH 3/3] arm64: dts: rockchip: Enable UART8 on rock-3b

[Tamás Szűcs]

Hi Jonas,

I agree; it's not possible to tell if the user will use a PCIe/USB,
PCIe/UART, SDIO/UART, perhaps USB/UART device, or any other HIF
combination. The way I see it is UART8 is hardwired to the M2E, so
there is a reasonable expectation that it should work too if need be.

Kind regards,
Tamas
