LX2160A devices not detected?

Hi,

I have seen that there is some support for the LX2160A SOC in FreeBSD: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/36362eb0a0a1862a0898a6e17844a54f3f28f114#diff-00274f2856d4a354783db33e78b20c78092e2e29bf86f4c3e4022982ec64620b

From what I understand this is all done through device tree probing. However when I dump the ACPI table on my system, I don't have these device tree entries. I am using lx2160a_uefi. What type of bootloader is FreeBSD expecting instead of what I am currently using? Otherwise should it be possible to get device detection working by adding device tree entries into my DSDT, recompiling the AML with iasl and loading the table in /boot/loader.conf? Thanks!
