 What was the problem with the ports ?
 Up to date with what ? sys/dts/arm64/ (sys/boot/fdt/dts/arm64) ?

 The current u-boot ports provide the DTS (it came from upstream Linux)
and doesn't have the PMU (Power Management Unit) or the cpu-supply
property for the cpu node while the one from sys/dts/arm64 does.
