+1.    Unless you know of a critical fix it is best to not mess with the
firmware.

if you don't know of an issue then upgrading fw is more likely to kill your
device than fix anything.

Only the "Enterprise" OEM's who put too much screwed up crap (to increase
reliability) in their firmware (broken stuff so making it less reliable
than if they kept it simple) want/need you to upgrade firmware often
because those extra features are delivered horribly broken.
