Sorry for delayed response and thanks for yours.

In this case, can someone please let me know if there are any plans for
making this switch supported in OpenBSD in the nearest future?

I'm pretty excited about these little devices so now I'm thinking about
buying EdgeRouter Lite where, as I understand, all 3 ports would be
available. And 3 ports is the minimum amount required for my own purposes.
