Nice catch!  As it turns out, having "rockchip,grf" defined isn't
needed for the RK3588, so this warning is of somewhat false nature.
In more detail, having "rockchip,grf" defined is actually required
only for some Rockchip SoCs, e.g. RK356x.

I can get this covered in my soon-to-be-submitted device-tree cleanup
patch series, if Alexey is fine with that.
