Here's an old mail thread describing how to disable the console so that
a gps add-on board would work:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2017-January/015438.html

That's pretty old, so I'm not sure everything in it still applies, but
I suspect there is still useful info there.

Also, a few months ago we got a new driver for the mini-uart that's in
an RPi3, it uses a separate set of IO pins from the console uart, maybe
that's a viable solution for you? I don't know much about the second
uart, I've just seen people mention it.
