The patch applied, booted and caused no visible problems on a
Pi4 running
FreeBSD nemesis.zefox.com 16.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #264 main-n288390-af069400a8ea-dirty: Wed Aug 19 18:42:19 PDT 2026     [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC arm64 aarch64 1600020 1600020

However, there's no hint of any audio output via an old Dell monitor with integrated 
HDMI audio which I know works. There isn't even any random noise as the Pi4 reboots.
RasPiOS makes a little noise during reboot on a Pi5 during reboot.
 
In fairness, I've _never_ tried to get audio output under FreeBSD on the test host.
If there are configuration changes needed hopefully someone can point them out.
The monitor is presently in the HDMI port closest to the USB power plug, if that
makes any difference.
