I understand Alex's concern. I think usually we only check the version
when a feature is only available in a specific version, and other
version or newer version doesn't have.
In case of FW fix, we assume the driver and FWs have to be
synchronous. If we have driver backward compatibility for FWs, there
must be a lot of redundant codes for FW version check. So this patch
and SDMA fix will be pushed into ROCm 5.1 release branch at the same
time.
Others replied as well, but just to make it clear this approach is an
absolutely clear NAK.
Driver backward compatibility is a documented mandatory feature.
So if you already pushed this to ROCm 5.1 then please revert that ASAP.
