If there is manual user input, you need to validate and normalize the input data.

Example:

- soc: Qualcomm IPQ4029
- soc: IPQ4029
- soc: qUaLcOmMm IPQ4029

We want uniform naming and spelling.

If all this is created via script, ok, no problem, the script can handle that.
If you want users to deliver acceptable yaml files, you should create a "yaml-generator" where you can easily chose in dropdown lists which SoC, what RAM chip, .....
The current dataentries do already have dropdowns for several features, however, SoC + Wireless hardware are freetext, no dropdowns. Having that automated would be a gain.

Regards,

Thomas
