unexpected configuration output given examples

When hard-coding bus and addresses, I ran into an interesting issue.
Previously, my sensors were dynamically bus'd with hard-coded
addresses, like:
{
"Exposes": [
{
"Address": "0x1c",
"Bus": "$bus",
"Name": "$bus board local",
"Name1": "$bus board external",
"Type": "TMP441"
},
...
}
Leads to:
xyz.openbmc_project.Configuration.TMP441 interface - - -
.Address property t 28
emits-change
.Bus property t 20
emits-change
Which is great.
But:
{
"Exposes": [
{
"Address": "0x54",
"Bus": 15,
"Name": "$bus i2cool 0",
"Type": "MAX31725"
},
...
}
Leads to:
xyz.openbmc_project.Configuration.MAX31725 interface - - -
.Address property s "0x54"
emits-change
.Bus property t 15
emits-change
Which crashes the hwmon temp program because it's "getting" a uint64_t
and not a string.
My only caveat worthwhile is that the hwmon instance is already
present because that sensor is in the device-tree. So I would expect
it to only fail on the export.
Note, I did also try "Address" as an int and not a string, but that
then failed the json validation.
Thanks,
Patrick
