Usually these pseudo-headers are meant to be chronological, so you would
swap the order.

Thanks, the patch looks correct to me, although...

Dropping this is the right thing to do with the rest of your patch, but
like Matthieu, it took me a second to see why. Something like this
should probably go into the commit message:

  We need to check that the ALLOW_TEXTCONV diff option is set before
  loading the textconv drivers. Rather than pass the diff options
  structure into the fill_one helper, let's just determine the textconv
  driver outside of that function and pass that in.

Though I really think that justification would make more sense if your
second cleanup patch came first, pulling the get_textconv calls back out
to the callers (which is easy to justify, since one of the callers
already has to load them itself _anyway_, which is just ugly).
