Make the backlight boost converter compensation capacitor (C459) 10nF instead of 100nF (was a typo), make the charge controller's PMID capacitor (C302) 10uF instead of 8.2uF since it is a more common value and is what is being used on the charge controller's eval board, select a 10uF 0603 X5R capacitor rated for 25V for both the PMID cap and the 10uF cap on VBUS, update the .ods BoM with tolerances & ratings for the caps and resistors which will be supplied by the PCBA house, export the component-placement-list file (dvk-mx8m-bsb-all.pos) which gives the coordinates of all components with respect to the top-left fiducial mark, re-export the gerbers for preliminary review (add silkscreen which states that this is preliminary instead of a version number), make a few minor improvements to the board's routing in various spots, update the IMU footprint so that its silkscreen which gives the axis directions is visible on the board, some footprints were updated to be defined as SMD footprints in order to show up on the component-placement list (strictly through-hole components are not listed)

The 0603 10uF 25V caps have been ordered and will be shipped to wherever the assembly is done. This commit contains the preliminary materials which will be reviewed (BoM, .pos file, and gerbers all zipped).

Make the rest of the silkscreen designators visible (some must be underneath the RJ45 and battery holder), add silkscreen which identifies the mPCIe and M.2 card slots

Added a "layer indicator" (useful for handling in the board house)
Currently placed under the mPCI card, but other locations possible.

Move device designators on silkscreen layer to reasonable places where they are readable and not covered by obstacles.
This was not possible on all areas of the F.Silk layer, because there exist four spots with a very high density of components:
-Audio circuit
-Ethernet circuit
-USB-C circuit
-Components below the SIM socket.

Move some of the reference designators on the silkscreen layers to more visible positions where possible, update the schematic, BoM, footprint, and layout to reflect the fact that the dual 2-input AND gate (U1803) is actually a 74AUP2G08* part (no longer *LVC*)

The rest of the silkscreen designators still need to be placed in more visible/unobstructed locations. The BoM still needs to have tolerance & rating values enter for all passive components that will be supplied by the PCBA house.

Make a few more minor adjustments and export preliminary gerber files

The gerbers will be re-exported frequenty from now until the final prototype files, after which point the revision will need to be incremented if further changes are made.

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

Rework length adjustment of SD card (one signal was too long).
Changed width of RGMII traces to 0.127 mm.
Removed unnecessary tiny segments/stubs.
