I'm confused. A rk3328 is a rockchip part not involved in/for
RPi*'s (broadcom parts). Examples of .dtb files for products
using the rk3328 parts are:

/boot/efi/dtb/rockchip/rk3328-rock64.dtb
/boot/efi/dtb/rockchip/rk3328-nanopi-r2s.dtb
/boot/efi/dtb/rockchip/rk3328-rock-pi-e.dtb

.dtbo files for a rk3328 are not usable for RPi*'s
generally (ever?).

Are you now using a rk3328 based part instead of a
RPi* ?
