Any reason why following rk3588 DTs was not updated?

rk3588-evb1-v10.dts
rk3588-nanopc-t6.dtsi
rk3588-quartzpro64.dts
rk3588s-gameforce-ace.dts
rk3588s-odroid-m2.dts

I also expect we may need to define domain-supply for the npu on rk3588
and also both gpu and npu on rk356x in a future series.

Similar freeze issue has been observed on rk356x when booting vendor
kernel with npu support enabled using mainline U-Boot and DT [1].

To work around that issue on rk356x the npu regulator could be changed
to always-on/boot-on to get past the kernel freeze [2].
