This isn't very hard. It can be done with a single file containing the device the firmware is for. And the FUMF should be able to determine which device it is operating on fairly easily.

if (DeviceCodeInFirmware != DeviceCodeOnDevice)
{
    // firmware for wrong device
    DeleteFirmwareFiles();
}
else
{
    // firmware for this device
    UpdateFirmware();
}

I'm sure we can find people on here that can write this snippet in any language or scripting language you want.
