I did a bit more testing on the Zero to see if the FreeBSD version
mattered:
FreeBSD-12.0-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20190103-r342709.img - still no
luck.
FreeBSD-11.2-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20190103-r342709.img - works!
(I.e. dmesg reports as below and /dev/iic{0,1} get created - I haven't
tested actual usage beyond having 'i2c -s' report "no devices found".)
I guess that the i2c support hasn't been removed intentionally,
i.e. this seems to be a regression - or is there some additional
config etc required to enable it with FreeBSD-12? The iic and iicbus
drivers appear to be built into the kernel in both 11 and 12.
(I haven't tested FreeBSD-12 on the Pi B, but I would guess that the
result will be the same as on the Zero, since it seems the hardware is
the same.)
