I hope a firmware upgrade is enough for dynamic HDR....

According to Thierry Fautier, President of Ultra HD Forum, open standard dynamic metadata ST 2094 is not part of BDA UHD spec.





HDMI 2.1 notably supports 4K HFR 120 fps and open standard SMPTE ST 2094 dynamic metadata:

Dynamic HDR format(s) has (have) to be specified by a standardization organization like CTA or DECE.
