+* 2712d0: Enable background refresh on 2712d0 for all SDRAM sizes
+  This provides a minor performance benefit.
+* Update GPT to support 4K native sectors
+  Bootloader logic updated to correctly interpret the GPT layout format specific to 4K native sector drives.
+* recovery: Use ROM boot-mode flag to detect rpiboot mode

+  original boot-mode rather than looking at whether the rpiboot
+  usb-device boot driver is initialised.
