Ok, if I add the rpi-poe.dtbo file and change to using 'dtoverlay=rpi-poe',
then I do see the overlay in the booted system - thanks for all the
pointers. Looks like I need to figure out how to add rpi-poe-plus to the
rpi-firmware port first.

&gt; Unfortunately this is where I&#39;m stuck - the overlay is not present=
 in the final DTB given to the kernel so there isn&#39;t anything to hook a=
 driver to. Are dtoverlays supposed to work on FreeBSD?<br>
<br>
The RPi* firwmare version that FreeBSD has in ports and uses<br>
in making snapshots and other images does not have that overlay:<br>
