What I am looking for is how the older cards using (my term) dfl 1 will
still work with dfl 2 and vice versa.

No where do I see a version check for dfl 2 nor a pci id check so either
this just works or backward compatibility has not be considered.

Please add a backward compatibility section to the doc patch

How do you tell between this case and broken hw ?
