No, at least not out of the box.

Whether the older firmwares can be installed on new devices, or vice-versa, will have to be figured out by testing.
  • anyone who owns a PW2 can more or less immediately determine if older softwares are accepted by the device, by trying to install them.
  • the other way around is not so easy, because there are no public sources for the 5.4.x software yet (it's only there on the PW2 devices for now). That will probably change in the months to come, when there will be firmware updates.

If you own a PW2 and would like to help, you're more than welcome to join the Kindle Developer's Forum.
