So someone can be identified, directly or indirectly, with an IP address, making it personal data under GDPR, art. 4(1).

Any piece of information that can be related to someone using supplementary information. Eg. My personnal email address contains my name, so I can be identified direclty; my phone number doesn’t, but my operator and contacts knows who is behind it, so I can be identified indirectly.
