In that case, you should try to leverage the Linux ficus.dts:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-ficus.dts

If no differences, using the ficus dts should do. If there are differences,
we can create a common rock960.dtsi and then enterprise and consumer
edition dts.

Well, I've reused the evb support, because there was no reason
to have board-specific code. If we have now a reason, then of course
having a board dir makes sense.

When possible, we should try to avoid code duplication and scattering.
For instance, the instructions in the README look RK3399 generic
and not board specific. We should consolidate that.
