Ok - there are two likely unrelated issues.
First is that my self build u-boot 2020.01 didn't boot and your
build worked fine.

Then there is the USB card reader problem within FreeBSD,
which I hadn't when I booted the very same system with the
u-boot 2019.10, which I installed via package on my 12.1 amd64.
Maybe the 2G vs 4G RAM avoided triggering the bug - who knows.
I just mentioned it in the same thread since it happened to me after
using the newer u-boot (and therefor the full 4G RAM).
