Implement check of firmware version and flash format procedure

[oscgonfer]

Newer versions of the firmware are weirdly interpreting previous flash storage data with the wrong IDs. This is creating new components in the platform. Currently, the rootcause is not understood and not logic, but upon testing on various devices it's a consistent issue.

As a precaution, we should implement a firmware check based on a flag on EEPROM for the current flash information firmware. This would mean that the kit would check its new configuration against it and it would potentially flash the memory in case of inconsistency.
