I like the idea. I like the prospect of converting *all* of our bigger
debugfs files to have some structure. Why not smaller ones too, to be
uniform. Not entirely sold on using it in sysfs, like the example code
did, but even that might be justified for capturing a state.

For many things I do like json, but yaml is definitely more human
readable as-is and more suitable for debugfs.

I expect the biggest uphill to be merging the bulk of stuff to
lib/. It's a lot of code in one go.

BR,
Jani.
