Really appreciate your test.

Good to know, I believe it won't make any difference for ISP

We had a try, yes, both of the old FW can't work on the new ISP4 driver, 
as you know, for the last months, we did lots of driver modifications 
for upstream and cause it incompatible with old FW.
Now, under internal discussion to upstream a new FW to support the new 
ISP driver
