 - Added `va41620`, `va41630`, `va41628` and `va41629` device features. A device now has to be
   selected for HAL compilation to work properly
+- Adaptions for the UART IRQ feature which are now only implemented for the RX part of the UART.
 
 ## Fixed
 
 - Small fixes and improvements for ADC drivers
 - Fixes for the SPI implementation where the clock divider values were not calculated
   correctly
+- Fixes for UART IRQ handler implementation
+- Add new IRQ router initialization method `irq_router::enable_and_init_irq_router`. This method
+  also sets the initial values of some registers to 0 where the datasheet and the actual reset
+  value are inconsistent, which can lead to weird bugs like IRQs not being triggered properly.
