But for -r325700 /boot/dtb/sinovoip-bpi-m3.dtb
was not found (unlike for -r324743 where the
BPI-M3 had been before):

No valid d™evice tree blob found!


Interesting- I had a similar issue, but it was presumably due to having
locally updated the u-boot port to use u-boot-master.

IIRC, I worked around this for the time being by adding a LINKS entry in
the same makefile:

sinovoip-bpi-m3.dtb sun8i-a83t-sinovoip-bpi-m3.dtb

Or was it sunxi-? I believe it matched a .dts in gnu/, so I would double
check that- not at a usable machine at the moment.

Either way, this alone caused a recent -HEAD to boot. This is what I
currently boot on my bpi-m3: https://github.com/kevans91/freebsd/tree/clkng
