A quick (and somewhat uncomprehending) look at github suggests
the effect is confined to the Pi4 and Pi5.

I was wondering if rpi-eeprom might also effect part of the
boot process on older Raspberry Pi boards. Not strictly eeprom
code, but maybe extending to the DOS materials like bootcode.bin.
It's understood there's no hardware equivalence, but there might
be some functional equivalence.

Thanks for writing,
