I am working on this, because a future device to be added (not ready yet)
to the blacklist table requires matching on only the end of the firmware string.
The old pattern matcher cannot handle that case, so..

In the meanwhile, this gives us decent memory savings,
and makes the list easier to maintain even for current entries.

Cheers
