+1 from me.

Using 2 RPi boards (RPI4/4Gb and old RPI1/512Mb) and both working very
good and stable with FreeBSD. I think in fact i never had any OS crash
in a last 6+ months or so.

Now thinking to get 8Gb model, mostly for testing and as a build host.
One of the things i found that RPi4 does not have rng driver. On attempt
to port one from OpenBSD i found in this maillist patches [1], but it
seems they never got any review/been merged. What is the best way to got
it in the upstream?
