There is no guarantee that a plugin for one version of Wireshark will work with another version of Wireshark, other than that a plugin for an X.Y.Z release will work for an X.Y.W release, so there's no guarantee that a plugin built with 2.1.0 will work with 2.0.1 unless you recompile it.

The numerical value of FT_FLOAT, in 2.1.0, is 21. The numerical value of FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME, in 2.0.1, is 21, so any code built with Wireshark 2.1.0 that uses FT_FLOAT will be interpreted as using FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME if run with 2.0.1.
So you'll have to recompile your plugin to work with 2.0.x.
