This is no reasonable, it should be able to reboot to maskrom mode any 
time we want, because

the vendor kernel also do this and the function works.

Yes, you are right about this, and I think rockchip vendor code is using 
SD card as  the first
priority in the SPL instead of "same-as SPL", and make the SPL small and 
simple enough
to involve less bug, so that stable enough and no need to update.
This patch is OK when the check for key press entry is in the board 
level instead of platform common code.
