Thank you for valuable information. For more deeply discussion,
I tried other conditions and watch the rise/fall times.

1) Not connect
The rise/fall times are 40ns/5ns when nothing connect (impedance is
very high) to external pin of RockPro64.

What UART device are you using with RockPro64? If you use some device
with RockPro64 and board shows rise/fall times = 90ns/45ns, my device
is not suitable for RockPro64 by some reason. So it's better to drop
my patch.

2) Other SoC
I have other SoC board rk3328-rock64, Rock64 shows rise/fall times =
90ns/80ns when same UART-USB device is connected to UART pin.

I think it shows rk3399's (or RockPro64's?) drive strength is a little
weak. So it's better to increase the drive strength of UART of rk3399.
