I did consider changing this for v2 however in your [PATCH v2 1/9]
"introduce SoC UID" you mentioned that "Others even print the binary
data as decimal (qcom).". If we where to use 'raw "bytes"-format' as in
my RFC, the data YAMLs would have hexadecimal representation and I'm not
sure if that could get too confusing. At least we could consider to add
a (mandatory?) YAML-field that specifies the number system.

Jonas
