6.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 8151320c747efb22d30b035af989fed0d502176e upstream.
The security-version-number check should be used rather than the runtime version check for driver updates.
Otherwise, the firmware update would fail when the update binary had a lower runtime version number than the current one.
