I think it's fine for there to be new firmwares with corresponding new configs, and that it's fine for those to have some minimum kernel version requirement (though desirable to avoid it). The firmwares could be enabling completely new or different features, that's one of the advantages of making the firmwares replaceable, and it's reasonable for that to result in config changes. What's not fine is for a new kernel to require that you change anything about the firmware and config setup on your system.
