Good call. On a cold boot the boot2 code does the enumeration but on a
warm boot it is the firmware.  And the firmware seems to have the
boot2 version hardcoded:
#define BOOTLOADER_VERSION 0x3006.
Ronak has provided a patch that causes the boot2 code to be executed
even in warm reboots.  This will be resolved in the next firmware
release.  I have created ticket #376 for this.
