Out of personal interest: Is this hat also able to power a RPi CM4?

Other than that as mentioned in the previous round: This looks good,

What is your thought about how to get this series merged? At least
input, staging, armsoc, clk, reset anf firmware are touched. Do you
prepare a branch for merging in the relevant trees (once you have all
the necessary Acks)?

Best regards
