This is just a data point statement...

I upgraded a number of Raspberry PI devices from 7.99.56 to 8.99.3 a
short while ago.  This would have included a RPI0, RPI2, and a number of
RPI3 devices.  All of then required newer bootcode*, fixup*, and start*
files to boot the 8.99.3 kernel.  I never investigated why or really
worried very much about it.  However, it was very clear that the older
files would not in any way, shape or form, boot the newer kernel.
