What vintage of the Linux materials were you comparing against?

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/sys/contrib/device-tree/

shows the most recent import to main [so: 15] was:
"Import device-tree files from Linux 6.8" on 2024-05-06.
6.6 and 6.7 were imported earlier that same day, so
previously FreeBSD was based on 6.5 .

FreeBSD deliberately does not track Linux-version-by-Linux-version,
nor at the same time Linux released what FreeBSD synchronizes to.

Accodring to https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/RockChip HDMI works for the =

where I have to look and work on.
