When the firmware API changes, and the old driver can't work with it anymore, then you have no choice but changing the name. But if it's just a small API extension enabling new driver functionality, you should really avoid bumping the firmware version, and instead try to dynamically detect it from the driver and act appropriately. Please explain what has exactly been changed in the firmware and let's try to find a clean solution.
