Sorry, but this is completely confusing. There is no documentation to
indicate there is backward compatibility break in firmware. do all
users need to upgrade firmware along with board config updates?? what
is the minimum firmware version that is supported? is there an ABI
version check that should be enforced?

Is there absolutely no way for people to use the new firmware and keep
their old u-boot? Rather disappointing to see backward compatible
breakage occurring this stage of the device. This is not appreciated.

Please see if you can fix your firmware to maintain compatibility (as
has been the case for year+ now)
