> This whole xparams stuff is a special case; but it is going away for
arch/powerpc.  xparameters.h is generated by the xilinx EDK tool and it
is painful to work with in the Linux context.  For arch/powerpc, I've
got a tool that generates a device tree from the FPGA hardware design.

What is the tool that you are using and are you willing to share it at
this point? I'm currently working on some code to generate platform
files for our internal drivers and the ll_temac vs using the ugle
xparam's file. I'd like to not duplicate, or actually assist, any effort
in this area.
