The latest smartpqi drivers for FreeBSD can also be found here.

These will work with the HPE Gen10 Smart Array controllers as well.

Yes, well, I have on a DL360 gen10, it is the 2U rack version, with a different 
RAID controller, see lower.

Well, so I have experience with the P4xx series on FreeBSD, I have installed it 
successfully on Gen6, Gen8, and Gen10.

The Linux Driver for RHEL from HPE suggest that the HPE E208 is a newer HPE 
Microsemi Controller, using the smartpqi drivers.

FreeBSD has support for the smartpqi driver 
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=smartpqi&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-release-ports
So I would say the HPE E208 should work under FreeBSD 12.
