Cool. So your patch would fix Rockpi4 automagically it seems.

Weird, I get a "Permission denied (public key)" error although my SSH key *is*
visible in the settings. Never mind since I don't need to send my patch
anymore ;-)

Interesting. It looks like there is little hope of getting the default
speed changed. TBH I don't even understand why BL31 resets the console when
it could just use it, assuming a prior stage has set it up already (BL1/BL2
or in my case U-Boot).
