svdtools

I'm using SVD from a chip and this file is in terrible condition (deeply Chinese chip). I found out that there is svdtools, which I have been looking for all this time! This powerful tool will help me to bring this SVD file to a normal state.

But I encountered an error. This is the same bug that appears in svd2rust. I know about it, fixing this problem is where my journey with the SVD file started.

The problem is that some peripherals in the original file do not have a field. This is because these peripherals have unusual fields (e.g. <peripheral derivedFrom='UART0'>). Maybe for some other reason, which is probably not important at the moment.

What do I think is the right thing to do? It seems to me that the right thing to do would be to make it a warning. Because in my YAML I have already put it as a correction in the original file. So the logic is: explicitly state that there is a bug in the original file, but let the patch be done. What do you think?
