[PATCH 3/3] sunxi: H616: Add OrangePi Zero 3 board support

Tue Nov 28 03:35:10 CET 2023

I got the initial defconfig that I started testing with from:

https://gist.github.com/iuncuim/2150b7a5317700314393665260ca628e

which has CONFIG_DRAM_CLK=792.

Just a few hours ago, when I was testing without this parameter, my 
system misbehaved and refused to reboot. The file system was corrupted 
and I had to reinstall the rootfs to get it going again.  I put the 
u-boot with the CONFIG_DRAM_CLK=792 back on it.

I will retest the system by building u-boot which is what I was doing 
when it crashed.
