Announcements
svdtools to wg/tools team?
- generally in favour, @adamgreig to make issue to vote on moving
  - also talk about deprecating/removing python version
  - check copyright status of included example svd file
aarch64-cpu re-export tock-registers? https://github.com/rust-embedded/aarch64-cpu/issues/19
- and if so, major/minor/patch bump?
- yes to re-export, minor version bump
embedded_io::WriteAllError propagation

  instead using an error to signal "can't write any more"
