Lifecycle Manager - pin old VIB?

I have a couple of HPE DL380 servers which have been running v7.0.2 for a while and after reading reports these can run v7.0.3, albeit with warnings about officially unsupported CPUs, I took the plunge on one of the servers. But I'm running into an issue where I suspect that Lifecycle Manager is not allowing me to maintain an old driver for an Intel P4500 NVMe.

Driver 2.6.0 works, but 2.7.0  and up require a C620 chipset which my gen8 and gen9 servers do not have. Manually installing the VIB works after uninstalling the v2.7.x VIB. But I suspect Lifecycle Manager will want to revert this VIB.

Lifecycle Manager (vSphere client v7.0 U3c) is being very odd about additional drivers, as I'm seeing cosmetic glitches and it's refusing to add the v2.6.0 or v2.6.1 Inte;l NVMe driver to the baseline. But doesn't show any errors, it just silently completes without adding the driver to the baseline.

Is there a way to pin a VIB or keep an old driver around in a 'newer' baseline? If not I'll just need to manually revert the driver each time I update the cluster.
