The device tree blob you are talking is defined in this repository:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux
So the word FW is misleading to me.

Yes
So i suggest to add the upstream compatibles into the repo mentioned above.
Sorry, but in case you decided as a U-Boot developer to be compatible
with a unreviewed DT, we also need to make U-Boot compatible with
upstream and downstream DT blobs.
