Thanks to good work by Rob and others, we're likely at a point where
it makes sense to deprecate sysutils/u-boot-rpi4 and patch
sysutils/u-boot-rpi3 to work for both -- IIRC, that patch would just
modify the fragment to increase <mumble>DRAM_BANKS so that one can use
the full RAM on newer models.

sysutils/rpi-firmware could consolidate config_rpi4.txt and
config_rpi3.txt into one using conditional directives to use the
armstub on the RPi4.

Thanks,
