ClearFog Base serial console on FreeBSD 11.2?

[Marcin Wojtas]

Hi Glenn,

The release/11.2.0 is missing a huge amount of patches for a38x, which
were merged later. However the initial support should work - please
try dts from sys/boot/fdt/dts/arm/. At that time the port was not
compatible with the Linux bindings from sys/gnu/dts/arm.

Please let know if it helped.

Best regards,
Marcin
