Yes.  the firmware validates the data.
Will remove the validation

BIOS reports the current value using ',' as separator instead of ";".

./hp-bioscfg/attributes/UEFI Boot Order/current_value
HDD:M.2:3,HDD:USB:1(Disabled),HDD:M.2:4,HDD:M.2:1,HDD:M.2:2,NETWORK
IPV4:EMBEDDED:1,NETWORK IPV6:EMBEDDED:1,NETWORK
IPV4:EXPANSION:1,NETWORK IPV6:EXPANSION:1

To avoid having to convert from "," to ";" and vice versa, I will
update the documentation to reflect the use of  "'," commas as the
separator

As validated in earlier reviews,  BIOS rejects strings that do not
match the internal values.

BIOS will reject strings such as "foo,foo,foo" when the current value
is "foo,bar,baz".   It is ok to provide a string which items are
ordered differently.  i.e. "baz,bar,foo"
validate_ordered_list_values() function will be removed as indicated earlier.

Prerequisites, prerequisites_size and elements_size will be removed

Each instance requires to report 'display_name_language_code' hence it
cannot be moved to a common code.
