That does not surprise me at all. Upstream made separate U-Boot
versions, with the RPi3 being long before RPi4B's existed.
The (temporarily?) more generic one came after both the RPi3B
and RPi4B U-Boot's had existed for some time. (I do not know
how much to blame U-Boot vs. FreeBSD vs. a mix of both for
the current status.)

I would not expect a RPi3B U-Boot to well handle everything about
a RPi4B, both as an upstream issue and as a FreeBSD ports issue.
