Compatibility and support for the new "Digi XBee RR Zigbee RF Module"?

[Hedda]

Anyone confirmed if the new Digi XBee RR Zigbee RF (xbee-rr/xbrr-24) modules been tested and are compatible with zigpy-xbee?

If so then they can be added to zigpy-xbee README.md under the "Compatible hardware" section:

https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-xbee/blob/dev/README.md#compatible-hardware

Example would be XBRR-24Z8ST (SMA Ant, Through-hole) and XBRR-24Z8UT (.FL Ant, Through-hole):

This new Digi XBee RR series is the latest hardware and PRO has the ability to use higher transmit current/power for +19 dBm.

Looks like this Digi XBee RR series are based on Silicon Labs EFR32MG hardware

but using Digi's own XBee PRO Zigbee stack which comes pre-flashed or flashed with latest Digi's XCTU software version:

PS: Tip to Zigbee developers is that "Digi XBee RR Development Kit" (XKRR-Z8S-WZM) is listed under coming soon:

Another developer tip is that these XBee modules can be used in for example SparkFun's XBee Development Board series:

I have briefly read the documentation and in theory it should be supported.
