Indeed. If '{' and '}' are not present, I guarantee the firmware will return
an error (or assert). However, I am more confident in the driver than in the
firmware to report errors to the user.

If there is no other comment, I am going to:
  - submit this change to the staging tree
  - publish the tool that generate this new format
  - submit the PDS files referenced in bus_{sdio,spi}.c to linux-firmware
  - send the v10 of this PR
