Redfish Interop Validator backward compatibility

Yes, all Redfish schemas in the v1.xx.xx range are backwards compatible, and therefore, any of the profile requirements are as well. A profile may specify minimum schema versions, but it will effectively do that by placing requirements on a properties added to later versions of that schema.

If your implementation supports the properties required by the profile, the schema version will not matter. For instance, you implement the Memory v1.12 schema, and want to conform to a profile which requires `SecurityState` (added in v1.7) and `SparePartNumber` (added in v1.11). As long as the implementation includes both of those properties, it would pass the profile conformance test, even though the latest version of the Memory schema is v1.17.
