To be honest, I am not sure. I am mostly just enabling stuff that
looks like it should work with this patch and the one that sets up the
inclusion of the pmu binary into boot.bin. But I have no board to test
with so it would be great to get feedback/comments/patches :).

Mike's work is what made me investigate adding these changes in the
first place, and his solution to the whole pmu firmware + config
object looks quite neat.
