Note: 1. Each entry represents distance from first node to second node. - The distances are equal in either direction.Hmm, so what happens now if firmware provides a description where both distances (in either direction) are supplied, but are different?I have not known any hardware that the distances of two direction are different yet
Then let's not add support for this just yet. When we have systems that actually need it, we'll be in a much better position to assess the suitability of any patches. At the moment, the whole thing is pretty questionable and it adds needless complication to the code. Will
