Sorry, I'm not trying to discredit what Godzil says, it just seems very improbable from a technological standpoint so I assume there must be some kind of misunderstanding...

Well, I would try to make it one firmware and just have checks for the hardware in the boot process. I do not think very much is added to the size of the firmware for this. I think tha advantage of having just one firmware is pretty big so it is worth the trouble to get it to work.
Another alternative is to have one installer blob that installs different firmware depending on the hardware.
