The above would probably be similar in 4.19, it uses device tree database too.
However, I can't even build rockchips' own 4.19, and I haven't even tried ayufan's 4.19 but since 4.4.154 doesn't even work right and mainline kernel is missing a lot of things needed for HDMI, I don't even really want to try yet.
Plus, 4.4.20 is moving through rc's like crazy and has thousands of lines supporting SoC devices, so I'm hopeful that regular mainline kernel will start being a viable option.
I will adamantly continue to use 4.4.138-1100 until I can find a reason to switch though.
As for your 4.19, what does "LXDE doesn't come up correctly" mean?
There are a lot of kernel pieces involving graphics display for rockchip.
Also you may want to consider using fbturbo driver instead of xorg armsoc driver, it might make LXDE work for you, might not:
