Description

6.1 vendor kernel is not bootable on opi3b. There is a post in forum: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/36332-orangepi3b-kernel-panic-when-trying-to-boot-with-the-new-vendor-kernel6143/#comment-186436

Opi3b is using mainline uboot for all branches which is not compatibale with vendor kernel's npu, ~so I use radxa's rockchip uboot instead and limit mainline uboot to branch edge~. I find that setting vdd_npu with property regulator-always-on will fix the issue. There is also a missing uwe5622 patch on rk35xx family, which will cause kernel panic of sprdbt_tty kernel module.

Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes. Please also note any relevant details for your test configuration.
