Breaking backwards compatibility is generally not allowed.

As far as i understand the driver, it loads whatever version of
firmware is available. It does not ask for a specific version. So you
should ask the firmware what version it is, and then handle the
bitmask as appropriate.

How many different versions of REL.PRU-ICSS-ETHERNET-SWITCH have been
released? They don't appear to be part of linux-firmware.git :-(
