Official armv7 FreeBSD-dtb-15.snap20241028121139 still based on linux 6.4 *.dts* sources, not 6.8 ones

I updated an armv7 OrangePi+ 2ed via:

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
        FreeBSD-dtb: 15.snap20241009161500 -> 15.snap20241028121139 [base]
        FreeBSD-kernel-generic: 15.snap20241011221604 -> 15.snap20241106134422 [base]
        FreeBSD-kernel-generic-dbg: 15.snap20241011221604 -> 15.snap20241106134422 [base]
        FreeBSD-kernel-generic-mmccam: 15.snap20241011221604 -> 15.snap20241106134422 [base]
        FreeBSD-kernel-generic-mmccam-dbg: 15.snap20241011221604 -> 15.snap20241106134422 [base]
        FreeBSD-kernel-generic-nodebug: 15.snap20241011221604 -> 15.snap20241106134422 [base]
        FreeBSD-kernel-generic-nodebug-dbg: 15.snap20241011221604 -> 15.snap20241106134422 [base]
        FreeBSD-src-sys: 15.snap20241011221604 -> 15.snap20241106160110 [base]

I then installed those and also then copied over the
resulting /boot/dtb tree to the appropriate place.

The boot attempts after that reported:

WARNING: DTB version is 6.4 while kernel expects 6.8, please update the DTB in the ESP

Using other means to get to a context where I could, I did:

# strings /boot/dtb/*.dtb | grep "6\.[48]" | more
=6.4
=6.4
=6.4
=6.4
,6.4
,6.4
,6.4
,6.4
,6.4
,6.4
. . .

[Doing the same sort of thing in one of my aarch64
environments shows a bunch of "6.8"s instead --and
that context does not complain.]

The *.dtb files show dates like:

-r--r--r--  1 root wheel - 31934 Oct 28 12:12:27 2024 /boot/dtb/sun8i-h3-orangepi-plus2e.dtb

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:armv7/base_latest/?C=M&O=D shows:

FreeBSD-dtb-15.snap20241028121139.pkg 118092 2024-Oct-28 23:02

But 6.4 dates back to:

Import device-tree files from Linux 6.4 Emmanuel Vadot 2023-08-09

and 6.8 to:

Import device-tree files from Linux 6.8 Emmanuel Vadot 2024-05-06

For reference, https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:armv7/base_latest/?C=M&O=D
also shows:

FreeBSD-kernel-generic-15.snap20241106134422.pkg 24513749 2024-Nov-06 23:14



I ended up copying a /boot/dtb from a personal build
(not PkgBase style) in order to have files that show
"6.8"s. After that attempted boots of the armv7 no
longer got the complaint.
