Bryan O'Donoghue 5015115def greybus: loopback: sort list of connections for masking purposes
In user-space we specify a list of connections as a bit-mask with the
assumption that a list such is indexed as indicated below.

end0:3:3:1:1 = 1
end0:3:3:2:3 = 2
end0:3:3:3:4 = 4

Current code assigns bitmask ids based on the order of discovery, however
user-space has no idea what the order of discovery is. This patch sorts the
linked list of connections associated with the loopback driver and assigns
a bit-id based on the sorted list - not the order of discovery. This
change therefore enforces the end-users idea that end0:3:3:1:1 above is
always denoted by bit 1 - even if from the AP's perspective it was the last
entry discovered.
