When reduced version firmware files were added (matching major component being the only strict requirement), the minor version was still tracked and a notification reported if it was older. However, the patch version should really be tracked as well for the same reasons. The KMD can work without the change but if the effort has been taken to release a new firmware with the change then there must be a valid reason for doing so - important bug fix, security fix, etc. And in that case it would be good to alert the user if they are missing out on that new fix. v2: Use correct patch version number and drop redunant debug print (review by Daniele / CI results).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
