FreeBSD Port: sysutils/u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3 2018.03: "USB0: data abort" after "starting USB"

[Mark Millard]

Unless I have missed something that I should do, it
appears to me that BPI-M3's are not working with the
latest sysutils/u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3 (and so the
latest sysutils/u-boot-master ).

The following is taken from where I first sent the
original note:

> This version is patched so that:
>  * ELF and API features are enabled.
>  * The default environment is trimmed to just what's needed to boot.
>  * The saveenv command writes to the file u-boot.env on the FAT partition.
>  * The DTB file name is chosen based on the board model and passed to ubldr.bin
>    using the fdtfile env variable. ubldr.bin loads the DTB from /boot/dtb/ on
>    the FreeBSD partition.
>  * By default, it loads PIE ubldr.bin from file ubldr.bin on the FAT partition
>    to address 0x42000000, and launches it.
