It is. But not for "frozen devices" - like yours.
In such devices, the API number (89 in your case) doesn't increase anymore,
but we still update the FW from time to time.

You can see the SHA-1 of the FW in the dmesg. For example, in the log you sent:
Loaded firmware version: 89.e9cec78e.0 ty-a0-gf-a0-89.ucode
The SHA-1 is e9cec78e.
