The probe score will always be the same as the info.plist is the same for both the KEXT's.
The only difference in both the KEXT (in terms of info.plist) is of "CFBundleVersion" property. The new KEXT has a higher number then the older (ROM) KEXT.

This won't achieve your desired goal; version numbers are not considered when matching, only the probe score counts.


If you want the kext to win vs. the ROM, you need to ensure the kext has a higher probe score.
