GSoC project suggestion for the BSP Raspberry pi 4B aarch64

Improving Raspberry Pi 4 support would be a great GSOC project. Right now
the Beagleboard is my default for a low cost network enabled RTEMS board.
But a Pi4 with network and SMP support would be a great board to learn
RTEMS. Even better if the supply problems are addressed this year. In
addition to educational use, the RPI4 compute module enables industrial use
cases.
Regards,
Alan
