We need a graph visualizer...

I think there has to be a balance with how much is put into the DT. If
the relationship between blocks is pretty fixed then it doesn't really
help much to put all this into DT. If every SOC or board can have
differing combinations of blocks or connections between blocks then
the graph makes sense.
