 Thanks.

 Yes upstream TF-A doesn't have rk356x support right now so we have to
use the ones provided at https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkbin

 U-Boot also doesn't support the DRAM controller so we also need an
external blob from rkbin.
 That's the main reason I haven't done ports for u-boot on rk356x so
one have to compile u-boot themselve.
 It can be simply done like any other u-boot targets and only needs two
env variable :
export BL31=/path/to/rkbin/bin/rk35/rk3568_bl31_v1.43.elf
export
ROCKCHIP_TPL=/path/to/rkbin/bin/rk35/rk3568_ddr_1560MHz_v1.18.bin
