(2 LSBs)

except, small issue: endian-ness looks like it will be an issue.

in main_stage.py the bit-order is reversed using [31-BI]

        # The bit of CR selected by BI
        cr_bit = Signal(reset_less=True)
        comb += cr_bit.eq((self.i.cr & (1<<(31-BI))) != 0)

if we are to reduce self.i.cr (BranchInputData.cr) to 4 bits,
should that not be
        comb += cr_bit.eq((self.i.cr & (1<<(3-BI))) != 0)

but also, back in power_decoder2.py, for DecodeCRIn, what about here?

            with m.Case(CRInSel.BI):
                comb += self.cr_bitfield.data.eq(self.dec.BI[2:5])
                comb += self.cr_bitfield.ok.eq(1)
