I think it's going to be a significant headache to remap things like the
dma-mode from the xilinx configurations to something else, and then
interpret them correctly in the drivers.
Although it lacks a bit in style, perhaps, I'd greatly prefer having
something like:
Ethernet_MAC {
xilinx,C_DMA_PRESENT = <1>;
...
}
(which happens to correspond to "none" above)
DMA mode is perhaps a bad example, since the Xilinx EDK encoding for
this is so unnecessarily obfuscated, but I'd like to avoid setting
precedent for defining a new set of parameterizations here. In the long
term, I'm afraid this will just be an added source of confusion and more
code to maintain.
