Ian and Kyle,
 I am very sorry that I was misunderstood. 
My absolute respect to you, I always follow your work on drivers etc. on phab ,
I am not blind and can see, that you have much much work on other things(like me)..
I am the" RPI-hater“  no. 1 :-), have told that 100 times in fbsd-forums etc
from the 1st day on … but I am willing to work on it because it is so much 
requested… 
I am currently working on another gadget, will post that in the Wiki the next days…
very good results but when it comes to brcm hw ….. ;-) …
But I don’t want that fbsd is so much behind e.g. netbsd in supporting gadgets…
Netbsd has meanwhile reached the Ethernet-support for RPI4(ACPI-based)…
Wifi is supported there since months… and it shouldn’t be so impossible to e.g. adopt 
Those solutions to fbsd. ( of course only when people want to work on it,
 )..  but Ed Maste stated a clear aarch64->Tier1-roadmap and it looks funny 
When we fail in supporting devices while others do… and for netbsd afaik that are 
even fewer people working on it than fbsd ( just my few cents) .
So: Freedom to everyone working on what he wants…
But it is simply wrong to say that it is nit possible to support the RPI4 on BSD`s.
Regards and sorry again for the misunderstanding of what I wanted to say 
Klaus
