There are almost 2 hours between 20:04:31 -0700
and the 21:51 when your Email arrived.

None of the output that I reported as showing up
shows in your report. YOu can look at:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/2022-September/001804.html

to see the U-Boot output that I got (via use in
an RPi4B).

Are you sure that the u-boot.bin on the msdosfs
has the new content?

Look at:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/2022-September/001804.html

for some of what to expect.

That is the same 209 reference from patch-include_configs_rpi.h
use that we exchanged about before. patch deals with finding the
match at the new line number (that as sufficiently close to the
original line number): there is no line 209 or 210 and the
matching text is at a smaller line number.

By itself, it is just an informational message and
is expected.
