Thanks for letting us know. I haven't had the chance and/or necessity to
update to v3.35 [1] since we we are not affected by the Broadcom security
issue mentioned in the changelog. We are running v3.32 [2] for the ones
equipped with 16 slots (note that the 8 slots use a different FW) and I had
no issue updating from v3.31 to v3.32
