We've received pushback from the SRU team recently when updating
firmware for hardware other than the target of the bug, even when
upstream bundles the updates together. It does make cherry picking
patches easier, but unless there's good reason to add the 9000 series
firmware updates we should omit them. So you'll need to either provide
better justification for the 9000 series updates or redo the series to
omit them.

Thanks,
Seth
