Description

Hi!

I noticed that when i run make -f svd.mk many files in svd/ folders change. I assume this is because older version of svd2ada generated them. Am i right?

If that is the case, existing drivers might be incompatible with the new bindings. Project would need to either update the drivers, either stick with older version of svd2ada.

What do you people think?

Research direction

Start by running make -f svd.mk and reviewing the changed files under svd/; compare the generated bindings with the drivers that consume them. Determine whether an older svd2ada version caused the mismatch, then establish the agreed update path and verify that existing drivers remain compatible.
