We are right at the border between Class 3/4 from a power consumption perspective (12.5W/25W). From a power budget perspective we would need more than 12W, but in real-world measurements it shows that even with NVMe etc. we are most often below 10W.
Since Class 4 needs a PoE+ router (which is less common/more expensive), but for most people things will probably work with Class 3, let's add a configuration option to select what Class the board should announce itself.
