Thank you for starting the review! I'm pretty sure it will take a couple
revisions until all the questions will be resolved :)

I'll need to take a closer look at GENPD, thank you for the suggestion.

Sounds like a software GENPD driver which manages clocks and voltages
could be a good idea, but it also could be an unnecessary
over-engineering. Let's see..
