Hmmm, quoting myself..hmm, before goin to have a sleep I wanted to know how good(or bad) I am in guessing (what I normally never do) :-) ....
So, hmmm, 1 wrong guess(the port in fact targets RPI4(&3) !) …( and 1 right guess)
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/de18ba58f56406625c04bcfc3a677fc969a32210/sysutils/edk2/Makefile
I like the idea to support RPI4 in sysutils/edkII, nothing wrong with that idea ..
On the other side Mark Millard is right :
<<... But pftf/RPi4 is no longer strictly based on just edk2 …..>>
And there are some other things to pay attention to in rpi4-uefi-dev(-files)...
The right „guess": (for now no publicly or communicated intention to support RPI4-uefi-dev by any developer in FreeBSD…)..
( it’s unsupported and lacks many functionalities… specially when compared to u-boot/fdt) :

On the other side it would be quite unfair to remove the Wiki-entry of rpi4-uefi-dev because
Greg did a very good job and the Wiki-article is very popular(because of the device itself),
I even receive private support-request-emails sometimes because of the article...
So I will leave the Wiki-entry untouched and the sysutils - maintainer is of course invited to tell the Wiki
something of the intention of the edkII-port and to where FreeBSD wants to go with RPI4-Uefi .
