The bootloader with the DDR3 patch works, so it should also work without
the patch.  I believe the LPDDR4 version is more common because it has
OpenWRT support while the DDR3 version does not [1].  The LPDDR4 version
would not be useful to me, but in general it would be more useful.

The patch is not submitted upstream or already present upstream.  I made
the patch for the DDR3 (as opposed to LPDDR4) variant of the Nano Pi
R4S.  I will write this in the patch comments as well.

Should there be bootloaders for both Nano Pi R4S variants?

I will try getting u-boot-rockpro64-rk3399 to build.
