R11:998bcddc942d: sysutils/rpi-firmware: Update to 1.20220405

Summary

14-CURRENT doesn't boot on RPI4 with 8GB memory because of outdated rpi-firmware and u-boot-rpi4.

This requires updated u-boot(https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41193).

Test Plan

Tested on Raspberry Pi 4 B+.

Download latest 14-CURRENT arm64 RPI snapshot and make a bootable microsd card.
Make rpi-firmware and install

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/rpi-firmware
make install
cp -pr /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/* /boot/efi/

Make latest u-boot-rpi4 and install

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi4
make install
cp /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi4/u-boot.bin /boot/

Reboot. This boot will automatically adjust disk size during boot. It might take several minutes or hours depending on your hardware.

On what RPI model have this been tested ? Because updating rpi-firmware sometimes break some models.

I'm testing on RPI 4 B with 8GB (BCM2711). Additionally, when my usb keyboard (Corsair K65 RGB) is connected my raspberry pi during boot, the boot process becomes really slow especially when loading kernel. I don't know if this problem only occurs only on the 8GB rpi4 though.

I figured out that this is a different problem for u-boot when a keyboard has a polling rate like 8000hz. It boots without problem when I switched my keyboard setting to BIOS mode.
