Today's Crochet fixes

[fabiodive]

Hello Tim,

today I am building an image with crochet from FreeBSD 11 source,
previously I was working successfully with FreeBSD 10 source set,
I would like to explore the work of Xuebing Wang trying to include
his patches to increase the CPU frequency.
I will try to patch u-boot 2014.01. I had some trouble before trying to use
sysutils/u-boot-beaglebone-eabi. 

Thank you for valuable work, until now.
cheers,

Fabio
