This is always good to update Clover. But there is no Sequoia specific fixes except interface.

Boot fail with Clover.

I think you take into account DSDT need be patched?

These kexts exists to replace Clover functions

0:441  0:003  Added Kext=Other\CPUFriendDataProvider.kext (1.0.0)
0:442  0:000  Added Kext=Other\BFixup.kext (1.0.1)
0:445  0:003  Added Kext=Other\CpuTopologyRebuild.kext (1.1.0)
0:448  0:003  Added Kext=Other\SMCProcessor.kext (1.3.4)

0:454  0:003  Added Kext=Other\CPUFriend.kext (1.2.9)

So I am not sure that I may improve something.

This is wrong

You should set

UseARTFrequency = true

And this is a problem for macOS

0:111  0:000  Cores: 1

AFAIK maximum is 64.

I tested with all possible combinations of kexts and with Clover it always stops before entering the desktop. With OpenCore boot is fine.

Vit add these things on opencore https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/commit/1493b56c3afc5c6fc8babc3b3a393785ff0b6d94

Done, Slice. Thank you for your attention.
