Confirmed that arm_boost is enable by default on rpi4 rev >=3D 1.4 as I
checked with htop.

Also, tested arm_freq=3D1800 and it crashes FreeBSD around initializing
console/video and detecting mouse.

As linux config.txt says:
---
[pi4]
# Run as fast as firmware / board allows
arm_boost=3D1
---
firmware must be updated to support this feature for sure.

Cheers,
