Build ofw_bus_if.h for modules that need it on arm64
Module Makefile build rules for ofw_bus_if.h are a bit of a mess; some
modules build it unconditionally while others build it only on certain
archs. There are a large number of different combinations of sparc64,
mips, powerpc, arm, and aarch64. This is true for a number of other
arch-specific module Makefile support. Should we have MK_* knobs to
control these cases -- e.g. MK_OFW (MK_FDT?) here? That would at least
move the arch-specific tests to a common location.
How much of the swamp do you want to drain?

None: Create MK_OFW (not MK_FDT: it already means something else). Add
a few lines to src.opts.mk. Watch me complain :)

A little: Add DEV_OFW to options. Add DEV_OFW to the relevant KERN_OPTS
clauses in sys/conf/config.mk and then test for it like so in the modules makefiles:
.if (${KERN_OPTS:MDEV_OFW})


.endif
Maybe add it in config.mk if MK_FDT is defined, but I’d prefer not
That’s what we’re really testing for here: is this kernel likely to have the OFW
routines being called.

A lot: rewrite config(8).

I’m hoping you’ll pick “a little” to not make things worse.
