Sure, go ahead. Didn't submit the patch because I wasn't sure it is worth it, especially the compat stuff, do it on new machine types only etc. But if we now have to change the order _anyway_ for new machine types it is a good opportunity to move to a sorted order at the same time, so we will not have that problem (init order changes reorders fw_cfg file directory) again. cheers, Gerd
