This question should be answered by the Cypress/Infineon folks but
unfortunately they have been quiet for a long time. In general we use
the id read from 0x18000000 to decide which firmware to load. But be
aware that the rev also matters. There are some examples in
brcmf_sdio_fwnames table that the different firmware name can be
derived from the same chip common id but different rev.

However sdio device enumeration happens before firmware download so
the intermittent problem you are facing probably is not related to
firmware version.
