It was dropped to avoid further copy-paste into newer platforms that
need to get these right in the firmware. I am afraid keep it would just
not help and any strong reasons for not moving to newer firmware. It should
be really ancient one with no security fixes I guess. I strong prefer to
move to slightly newer firmware version if not the latest.
