Bring the SD controller's WP pin to GND

The WP pin needs to be brought to ground for the write protect to not be enabled by the chip.

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

Re-route the USB hub + SD controller chip's DP0/DM0 as a 90Ohm diff pair which feeds back to the IC's DM/DP pins (17<->31 & 18<->32), re-route the WWAN and WLAN diff pairs after they were shoved in a previous commit (reapplied the meanders as well)

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).

Route USB2 to the hub chip's upstream port and re-order & route each of the downstream ports to their respective locations (smartcard, mPCIe, & M.2), place and route the HDMI fuse, schottky diodes, TVS diodes, capacitors, and pull-up resistors, route the rest of the HDMI's interface to the SoM (HPD & I2C), adjust the GNSS antenna's CPW width using the PCB manufacturer's recommendation from their calculations

The HDMI circuit should be complete now. The GNSS & WiFi+BT antennae should also be complete. The GNSS module's RX & TX lines need to be routed next.
