I did and now I’m sure that you don’t own an RPI4-8GB(because the image doesn’t boot from USB/SSD)..
But the good news is that you have everything done well in „organizing“ the firmware-port.
With this last image the start4.elf & fixup4.dat is fine ! So:good work.
So it’s all about : https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26853 
which fixes pcie/usb-bootup-firmware-issues.( tested by me & Andy for now).

 it’s  bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb which(currently) has to differ if we want to boot straight up from USB/SSD .
I say `currently` because that could change upstream. But why struggle with upstream if we can fix it ourselves?

That’s awesome  news, Andy 
and many many thanks for all your extensive tests !
So we can probably say that currently we don’t have to struggle with different silicon-version, very good news.

And while #0XJTAG-Boss Rob privately is booting from a poor uSD-fingernail himself,
the nicest present he gave us is the USB/SSD-bootup ;-) , superf**king fast, 10 times faster(measured) than uSD, great!
