 Ok, one thing at a time please. I was just answering your mail about
the release image not using the port and using some hardlink whatever
files.
 I do own a RPI4-8GB but indeed I've never tested usb boot on it.

 And again please provide an overlay for this with an explanation of
what and why things are needed.
 We will not replace a dts in sys/gnu/ with some other one coming from
a different upstream.

 We have to do both, fix it ourselves and working with upstream.
 Now that being said please remember that RPI doesn't care about u-boot
so they might don't care about this problem.
