These images are newer firmware versions actually.
The 2nd (69 or 68) and 3rd (11 or 29) numbers in the version string do not necessarily mean the version increasing or decreasing. Only when first 3 numbers are fixed, a smaller 4th number will mean that the version is rolling backward. For examples,
File: mrvl/sd8797_uapsta.bin
-Version: 14.66.11.p100
+Version: 14.66.11.p151
The version is moving forward.
But if we do,
-Version: 14.66.11.p100
+Version: 14.66.11.p99
this will be rolling backward.
Each firmware image contains a timestamp such as "2013/12/06, 21:28:31".
If you think that is informative I can add the timestamps in commit logs and resend the pull request.
Thanks,
Bing
