I have discussed with Makus about qom-set in pervious confabulation.
The main problem is that qom-set's function is simple, which just change
a device's property value, but not can do any other logic. In my case,
I should change global fw_boot_orde for devices's bootindex taking effect.

Please see the details as below, thanks a lot!
