That's possible....

At this stage that's possible too 8-(

Right now sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64/files contains
root@pelorus:/usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64/files # ls -l
total 24
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  964 Oct  1 09:39 patch-common_usb.c 

which contains 3 references to mdelay. 

-rw-------  1 root  wheel  382 Sep 28 21:31 patch-common_usb__hub.c
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  362 Sep 28 21:31 patch-common_usb__storage.c
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  291 Sep 28 21:31 patch-include_configs_rpi.h
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  510 Jul 24 09:31 patch-lib_efi__loader_efi__console.c
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  169 Sep 30 18:57 rpi_arm64_fragment

If the sizes/dates are right maybe I copied the wrong u-boot.bin to /boot/msdos.
If they're wrong a batch send of preferred patches is probably the best
way to put things right.

Out of the last 24 boot attempts there have been 6
loops and no failures to find a boot device. The
log file is at
http://nemesis.zefox.com/~fbsd/pelorus_console.txt6_more_loops

It's one of the few things I'm marginally capable of 8-)

Thanks for all your help!
