Replacing firmware from kernel 2.6.32 with firmware from 2.6.31?

It get this error when installing kernel26-xen-dom0:

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I dont feel completely confident that is is a good idea to overwrite firmware files from kernel 2.6.31 . Is it safe?

are you using any hardware listed here ? in any case, it should be harmless.
