I'll note that FreeBSD releases, snapshots, and
the like do not use sysutils/u-boot-rpi4 at all.
There is a sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64 that is used
instead.

sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64 used to work for both
RPi3B and RPi4B generally, as I remember. That
was its intent, instead of having rpi3 and rpi4
as separate: FreeBSD got from upstream.

But asof now old Revision 1.1 RPi4B's with 4
GiBytes of RAM are known to not be able to use a
microsd card plugged into the slot, blocking
booting from microsd cards. More modern RPi4B's
work for that, at least what was tested. It may
be that other forms of old Revision 1.1 RPi4Bs
do not work. All that was tested was what some
folks happened to have around.

I have access to examples of both working and not
working for the microsd card slot for RPi4B's.
