The 9Tripod X3568 v4 is an RK3568-based SBC, just like the RK3568-EVB.
It always uses soldered connections between the X3568CV2/X3568CV3/X3568CV4 core
board
and the X3568bv4 I/O board.
The differences between the core boards
- PCB size, layout
- CPU (RKK3568B2/RK3568J)
- Memory type (DDR4/LPDDR4/LPDDR4X) and size
- eMMC size
- DSI/EDP resistor values
Although the components vary, they maintain full compatibility.
The X3568 board has multiple hardware revisions, and we currently support v4
(I/O board).

Any reason for removing clock-names from xPL DTB?
Looks ok to me otherwise.

Hi Quentin,
Thanks for review, this is the first time I've submitted a patch to u-boot.
Welcome to the community :) !
I referred to some other rk3568 boards that had the clock name removed, so I
left it as it was. There was no problem with the board starting, and I don't
know why them remove clocks name.
Yeah I guessed, it's what most people do but I don't think it should
have made it in the first place for other boards, at least not without
an explanation (maybe we need to fix a bug somewhere else such that we
don't need to remove it in xPL stages?).
The board is working fine.
If you remove clock-names from CONFIG_OF_SPL_REMOVE_PROPS?
Cheers,
Quentin
