Simon, Bin,
As Heinrich points out some of the CONFIG_SYS_* values are not representing
the devices properly. Maybe it's a better idea to only check the .dts?
If the values are missing we can pop a runtime warning and keep using
'Unknown'.

How? The only valid test we can do is that the values we expect are not "".
But as the code is right now it will always replace "" with "Unknown"
