The old version of MCUBoot cannot successfully load the new Matter OTA firmware unless a confirmed OTA firmware is uploaded

[SemiBrain]

This issue is a follow-up to the previous one：341132

When upgrading our device from Matter 1.1 to Matter 1.3 firmware via OTA, the MCUBoot program in the old firmware fails to load the new version. The MCUBoot log indicates that the new firmware cannot be loaded or confirmed, leading to an automatic rollback to the previous version.

To work around this, I enabled the following two parameters when building the new firmware and uploaded a confirmed OTA firmware. Only then was MCUBoot able to successfully boot the new firmware.

CONFIG_MCUBOOT_GENERATE_CONFIRMED_IMAGE=y
CONFIG_MCUBOOT_EXTRA_IMGTOOL_ARGS="--confirm"

We would like to explore whether there are alternative solutions, other than providing a confirmed OTA firmware, to resolve the issue of the old MCUBoot version failing to correctly boot the new firmware.

Additional information:
The old version of MCUBoot is v1.9.99-ncs3-rc2 with ncs 2.2.0
The neew version of MCUBoot is v2.1.0-ncs1 with ncs 2.7.0
