It may be worth opening an issue in Pagure for this, not sure how it
should be best included in the arm installer for Fedora.

Made one change, put file in socs.d/rk3328 and added a softlink from
boards.d/rock64 to socs.d/rk3328
Not sure if names I choose are the most appropriate.

Can start on this, though I do not have this board, so cannot really
test it. Let me know if you have used Pagure or Git, usually it is
good for the person who found the solution to add it to the
repository. If still want me to do it, can do so.
It seems you already forked the repository, so feel free to make your
additions there. There is a pull request at:
