If I understand the current status correctly, the
recent changes to use upstream DTS materials took
the BPI-M3 from having, e.g., USB working to USB
not working. -r323641 removed AWUSBPHY_TYPE_A83T
from enum awusbphy_type because of what was missing
from upstream DTS materials and such.

That is not a request: I'm just trying to be
explicit about the overall status for reference
for anyone else that was using BPI-M3's with
FreeBSD. Feel free to correct or add to what
I've reported if it is wrong/incomplete.


Side note for Pine64+ 2GB status:

By contrast Pine64+ 2GB's again support EHCI,
at least on the lower USB port. (I've not tried
the upper one.) My historical Pine64+ 2GB FreeBSD
configuration works again as it used to: It is
running -r324743 currently. Thanks Emmanuel.
