Early editions of RPi 4 had hardware design issues in the USB-C port. (Ref: 1) Since then an updated board has been issued. However the official schematics still show the old USB-C Power In circuit (i.e., with CC1 and CC2 shorted and pulled down by a single 5K1 resistor).

enter image description here

Are updated schematics available for the updated USB-C Power In?

Update 2022-01-25:

After the original post conversation a bug was reported https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/issues/1915 and there was enough interest to generate a Hackaday article https://hackaday.com/2021/06/23/the-compromises-of-raspberry-pi-hardware-documentation/. RPi users have suggested crowdsourcing schematic updates to reduce costs for RPi foundation.

Today after a user requested the issue be re-opened, the response from the Principal Software Engineer at Raspberry Pi is unchanged saying, “There is no schedule for this, nor is there any guarantee it will actually be done.”

/sarcasm/ #Hashtag “working to put the power of digital making into the hands of people all over the world.” /dismount sarcasm/

There is truth in @DmitryGrigoryev comment. However, on the Raspberry Pi GitHub site, there is an opportunity to file an Issue or a Bug Report.

In this case, it seems the Documentation repo would be the place to go. If you're not familiar with the GitHub interface, you are looking for the "Issues" tab at the top of the page. Clicking it will take you to a filter-able listing of issues filed, and from there, clicking the New Issue button will take you to a form for submitting your issue.

In some cases (typically bug reports), you'll be asked to follow a format for entering your Issue - in other cases, it's a simple free-form input - a slight re-wording of your question here would likely be fine.
