Hi
An official release is not really available yet, I wrote about the 
subject in the FreeBSD Journal which tries to guide towards a recent
(mostly) official source build. The article is here 
https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FreeBSD-on-the-Pinebook-Pro.pdf
It has sounds pathces and panfrost and not the least a working display 
port for the panel.
Some errors have probably sneaked in in the article please feel free to 
complain to me/ask me for details. It might also already be a little 
outdated IIRC for instance the mixer patch does not longer apply and is 
not necessary any more.
