NIC rename after forced firmware (2019.12.0) upgrade on BL460c Gen10

Hi,
After forced upgrade from 2019.03.0 to 2019.12.0 "HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter" got renamed to "HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter". 
Firmware version doesn't change - 12.0.1216.0.

This confuses HPOneView since HW is defined by Model + Network card.
Alert make sense, since HP != HPE.
Workaround is to downgrade Gen10 to 2019.03.0 with force, upgrade ILO5 to 2.14 and upgrade to 2019.12.0. 
Forced upgrade to 2019.12.0 will replicate the issue. 

Generated alert "A problem occurred while retrieving the server configuration data from the Onboard Administrator."

Resolution

Power the server off and back on. Alternatively, verify that all components listed in the logical enclosure's firmware view are at the same supported baseline.
