That allowed the users to test various firmware versions as long as they were on the right branch. On the other hand, it made it impossible for mlxsw to put a hard lower bound on a version that fixes all problems known to date. If a user had a somewhat older FW version installed, mlxsw would start up just fine, possibly performing non-optimally as it would use features that trigger problematic behavior. Therefore tweak the check to accept any FW version that is: - on the same branch as the preferred version, and - the same as or newer than the preferred version.
