[chirp_devel] Parameterized memory maps

[Brian Dickman]

What's the current attitude towards parameterized memory maps, to
support different models with varying locations/names of values?

I'm working on adding Leixen VV-898S support. They decided to take
what used to be 1 bit for Power and 1 bit for Mode and instead use
both bits for Power, and move Mode to a previously unused bit. I could
work around this by parameterizing the map, so it would look sorta
like this:

u8 %s:1,
     foo1:1,
     foo2:1,
     foo3:1,
     foo4:1,
     foo5:1,
     %s;

The first radio would format it as:

MEM_FORMAT % ( 'unknown' , 'mode:1,power:1' )

while the second would format it as:

MEM_FORMAT % ( 'mode' , 'power:2' )

Any fundamental objections to this approach? Should I just suck it up
and combine the bits at read time on the second radio instead of
parameterizing?
