Mark,

I'm sure you'll be a very important troubleshooter/bughunter again for RPI s=
upport, no one does it as well as you :-)
... but let us clarify one important thing:
Every FreeBSD DeviceTreeSource(or compiled dtb) is a Linux(or RPILinux)-main=
line-only source, and every dts(i) is OpenSourced in RPI-linux and all upcom=
ing patches are OpenSourced in mailing lists of e.g. the bootloader.
Or so: they(torvalds&RPI&u-boot) upstream/downstream whatever they think is u=
seful,
there are a lot of experst doing that daily  and we should not stay so far b=
ehind them forever.

Best Regards
