The rk3288 firefly reload is a Rockchip RK3288 based board be found by
core board and main board. The regulators are connected in a different
way to the previous version of firefly boards, it is necessary to
move some common code to uncommon place.

I only tested the ethernet and confirmed that works.
The usb in this board won't caused by the bugs in the driver.

This version follow the suggests from Heiko Stuebner,
except the duplicated supply name problem, I don't think
it could be fixed in that way.
I've now had a chance to look at that reload board on the firefly site.
Firefly also is the company name, so a board named that way is not
necessarily a "variant" :-) .

And looking at the "reload" board this definitly seems to be a very
different product with it being a system-on-module+baseboard design with
additional peripherals like that sata bridge, camera interfaces and probably
sata bridge is just a SATA to usb bridge and the "reload" bring back the DVP camera interface and
a HDMI rx chip connected to the other MIPI camera interface.
more.

As you might've seen, most Rockchip boards are based on some reference-
design, so are similar in a big part of their core layout.
Yes, from the evb. But the even the main board of evb in rockchip company have at lease 3 versions
as I known.
Also the evb is found by power board, main board and core board.
So, looking at the vastly different product the reload is, I'd really like
to have a separate dts for the reload, to not run into more confusing
differences later on.
The main problem is that power connections are different. That is why I decide to make a
separate dts. If the kernel introduce the override dts, I could have a better way to implement
it.
Also, when adding a new board, please also add an entry to
Documentation/devicetree/bindingd/arm/rockchip.txt
I would send a patch set in a few days.
Thanks
Heiko
