The 2711ZPKFSB06C0T RPi4B was reported to indicate
revision code b03114 for itself (via attachment
content), which that README.md lists as v1.4:

b03114	4B	1.4	2GB	Sony UK

(The ending hexadecimal digit indicates what
goes after "1." for "new-style revision codes".)

But it turns out that the above line was added to
the table in the same commit as the line:

c03130	Pi 400	1.0	4GB	Sony UK

which is a known 2711ZPKFSB06C0T context. The commit
was back in 2020-Nov. For all I know there may be
b03114's that show a B0T suffix. The shared commit
may be a red herring.

This makes it still unclear if there will be distinct
revision codes in general.

It is a possibility but not a certainty.

An interesting point about b03114 being a 2GB
model's revision code is that the DMA limitation
is basically irrelevant since there is < 3 GiByte
of RAM to start with. Fixing the DMA limitation
would not have been the point of having a
2711ZPKFSB06C0T part in this type of context.
