Add a TXB0101 logic level translator to the LCD_RESET# signal, the VIH(max) if the LCD's reset pin is 1.8V so the voltage needs to be translated from 3.3V logic down to 1.8V logic

The active TXB0101 level translator is used so that the pin can continue to be externally pulled low by a 10k resistor. The behavior of having this pin supplied with a logic level exceed its maximum rating is unpredictable (could be fine but could also act in unexpected ways). The TXB0101 is already used in the design as U1302, so now there will be 2x of these per board. This also requires two additional 0402 X5R 10V 100nF caps (already have 87 per board of CL05A104MP5NNNC / EmCraft PN: E-CAP-003-01, will now be 89 per board).

Make the ENET_* traces on the top layer 53mils in order to ensure they have a 50Ohm single-ended impedence, move one of the 5V_P bypass caps close to the SoM end of the USB2 diff pair, add meanders to the ENET_TXC, ENET_TX_CTL, ENET_RX_CTL in order to ensure these segments are matched to the long ENET_RXC segment (56.051mm, the rest of the RGMII signals are <10mm skew from this length and don't need adjusting, re-route the SIM card such that UIM-RESET is routed in between UIM-CLK and UIM-DATA as recommended by a BB manufacturer

Add pi-matching circuit to the baseband modem antenna's feedline

The return path for the antenna may have to have a 6.8nH Murata LQG15HN inductor installed on it (cutting the ground trace shorting the pads). The BoM was updated with the new components and everything was reannotated and updated (page 2's caps were out of order).
