2 commits. Main one:
Python's sets are not deterministic.
devices
were already sorted butdev_supports
is still anon-deterministic set. Sort dev_supports to make the graph output
deterministic.
Fixes commit 2994247 ("scripts: gen_handles: output dependency graph")
It is quite ironic that this initial and non-deterministic graph commit
was concurrent with and slightly delayed other commit
f896fc2 ("scripts: gen_handles: Sort the device handles") which
fixed another, similar non-determinism issue in the same area. A true
"whack-a-mole"!
