In tree firmware not kept up to date

Hello,
What is the current policy wrt keeping the in-tree firmware updated
alongside the drivers?
I use CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL but a couple of times[0] recently this
has failed me because the in-tree bnx2 driver requires
bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw but the tree contains
firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw.ihex and not 6.2.1b.
Is it a bug that bnx2 was updated without adding the new firmware or is
a bug that the obsolete firmware is still sitting in the tree?
Ian.
[0] It's possible the same thing and I've just tripped over it more than
once now.
