The priority is evaluated during the module bank/cache initialization, as
are the configuration items. So fundamentally, the configuration is not
loaded at that time. So you cannot change priority based on a configuration
item.

Instead, you need to set a constant high priority and check the
configuration in the Open() callback. This unfortunately means the OMX
decoder will be probed every time. But that is a minor issue: most decoders
are already like that.
