FYI: FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm-armv7-GENERICSD-20220930-42dc8696df5-258315.img is broken for RPi2 v1.1 (so: armv7)

I put:

FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm-armv7-GENERICSD-20220930-42dc8696df5-258315.img

on a microsd card via dd and tried to boot a RPi2 v1.1. it
hung up after:

Using DTB provided by EFI at 0x7ef6000.
Kernel entry at 0x36a00200...
Kernel args: (null)

(A "-" might show in the next line.)

So I tried:

FreeBSD-13.1-STABLE-arm-armv7-GENERICSD-20221007-d497b97e902-252653.img

on the microsd card instead. It worked just fine. (Thus the
RPi2B v1.1 is not broken.)

I did this experiment because recent testing for other
reasons of somewhat older main vintages that I'd built
also showed such failures. This test shows official
builds also have the problem.

I've no clue how long this issue has been around. It
been a very long time since the RPi2B v1.1 had been
powered on.


Note: The arm-armv7-GENERICSD images include the RPi2B
v1.1 related RPi* firmware and u-boot, in addition to
an installed FreeBSD EFI loader and a kernel and a
world. Historically it was supposed to just work for
RPi2B v1.1's.
