The FreeBSD instructions use a draft EDK2 UEFI/ACPI instead of Device
Tree. (It also has not been update din 6+ months.)

OpenBSD supports U-boot UEFI/DeviceTree instead. It does RP1 child
enumeration based on DeviceTree. That includes Ethernet and USB.

As I vaguely understand, that is very different from how ACPI
interfacing would likely work.
