Not that I know of; typically, companies change hardware revs to cost-reduce a product or fix significant shortcomings. The hardware is sufficiently different that the firmware/software needs to be different for the new hardware.
I saw a good example of this last night in two Netgear FS516 16-port 10/100 switches; they looked almost identical but were different like night and day inside. One had a dozen or so largish chips, maybe even one chip per port. The other had just two chips of the same physical size and one of the circuit boards was a lot smaller. Both the same model number, same function, but very different in side (clearly a cost reduction).
