Now that Pi5 firmware releases have settled down we've rebuilt Pi4 bootloader from the common codebase. This change won't add major features to Pi4 (sorry) but it should allow bug fixes in common code (e.g. file systems) to be released more quickly on Pi4.
Since there's some risk of regressions it's only available via rpi-update along with the latest bleeding-edge firmware and kernel.
DO NOT install this unless you have previous experience of fixing a non-booting Pi

To remove the pre-release of the bootloader from the OS image, if it doesn't boot you'll need to use the RPi Imager to generate a bootloader recovery image.
