In the loop condition, you could replace ARRAY_SIZE with a terminator
element check, and you could terminate the arrays with an

  { FW_CFG_INVALID, NULL }

element. Then the loop could be extracted, and you wouldn't need further
size_t globals, for replacing ARRAY_SIZE.

But, again, it's not that important.
