But it would be good to know if that is the exact reason, see if it can
be upgraded, or else we can disable them by default. The bootloader or
something else can detect the f/w version and enable them so that the
board with old f/w(if can't be upgraded) can still be used.

Otherwise it is a regression IMO.
