SVD2ADA generates enumeration with duplicate values

[Joebeazelman]

After generating and compiling the code generated from the enclosed SVD file, the Ada compiler flagged an error because two of the names in an enumeration had the same value. I worked around the error by deleting the name from the enum and returning it from a function as an alias to the other name with the same value.

Sounds like a bug in the SVD file indeed.

Enum names can have the same value in other languages, but not in Ada. It would be a bug in the file if the SVD specification forbids it. The code generator should implement a workaround like the alias hack.
