That problem was not introduced now so I'll leave it to Sayantan. It only happens with --test=0:

$ ../run/john -t=0 -form:mscash2-opencl -dev=gpu

I think that "decreasing order" requirement should be taken care of by the format, not the user. When using --device=gpu you select all GPU devices available but on Bull they happen to come in increasing order of performance.
