No, that's exactly my point. The generator should document what it *does* i.e. When there is a parameter in the EDK file, then such and such corresponding parameter will be generated in the dts. The devices and drivers will inevitably change over time: your proposal would result in an unnecessary maintenance headache... The documentation of what the individual parameters are should be unambiguous from the EDK documentation. The only things that the generator should handle 'specially', in my opinion are parameters that need to be munged to be standard names.
