Ethernet is supposedly broken by design. While Xunlong is working on a hw revision of this board it is to be expected that it will be released under the same name which will then ultimately contribute to users confusion why on some boards eth works and on others not. Therefore get rid of this one altogether. https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/6587 View the full article

Enable bcachefs filesystem support in rk3588 kernel config (copied from armbian rockpro64 edge config). Description This adds support for the bcachefs filesystem in the rk3588 edge kernel config.
