then we will have no end of this problem.

Why would they do it?

The ATF is SoC-specific, the only board-specific part is the console
speed which is resolved by this change.

If people are using old kernel because they have binary driver for a
special device they can still change the option in the kconfig.

Maybe adding a note in the rk3399 documentation woukl be dessirable but
that's about it.

Thanks

Michal
