Yes, we got the following with 2.0.150 (no special debug etc.):
mlx4_core 0000:17:00.0: Installed FW has unsupported command interface 
revision 1.
kernel: mlx4_core 0000:17:00.0: (Installed FW version is 2.0.150)

Yes, we just had to do something similar, "mstflint -d xx:yy.z q" will give 
you the PSID etc.

We also had to fiddle some pci registers to get through to the "fw handicaped" 
HCA but I have no idea if that will be needed for all HCAs with such old fw.
