Perhaps the plan9 drivers would help? They are considerably
simpler and I suspect you mainly want h/w parameters. 9pi (arm)
& 9front (arm64) have ethernet, wifi & xhci working.

Re: documentation. I asked on their forum about their long
promised documentation and was told it is hung up due to some
sort of personal issue. The RPF engineers hang out on their
forum and they do help provided one asks specific questions.

I will be happy to help once I re-bootstrap into freebsd kernel
hacking. First I need to figure out why it boots partially and
then hangs with repeated controller timeout messages:

....
Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec

I built -current locally a couple days back and it has the same
issue.
