Yep. We have all kinds of firmware with the new instruction set. It's 
only ucode2 (old instruction set) that's missing. But the later ucode4 
which also uses the old instruction set is available in v4.
OTOH, ucode13 isn't available in v3. We can't offer one firmware version 
for all card revisions. Both are limited to a specific range of 
revisions.

v3	rev2...rev12
v4	rev4...<=rev13
The upper limit doesn't really matter, afaict the effect of running a
rev9 instead of rev13 will just be a missing performance increase due to
bigger FIFOs not being used fully.
