Object names

[Guillaume227]

Hello, thanks for the useful library. I have been playing around with it in the terminal and I have suggestions for making it more user-friendly.

• provide some form of top-level entry point so we don't have to rely on doing the xml parsing separately to then pass a node to the Device constructor, e.g. a parse_sdv_file(file_path) function.
• populating __str__ and __repr__ with self.name would make the console experience much better. At the moment when printing peripherals or registersI am seeing:

  dev.peripherals
  Out[27]:
  [<pysvd.element.Peripheral at 0x2118e537af0>,
  <pysvd.element.Peripheral at 0x2118e537a90>,
  <pysvd.element.Peripheral at 0x2118cabc4f0>,
  ...]
  p.registers
  Out[32]:
  [<pysvd.element.Register at 0x2118e379c70>,
  <pysvd.element.Register at 0x2118e379040>,
  <pysvd.element.Register at 0x21191b6dca0>,
  ...]

Would be much nicer to see:

[DCMI,
 FMC,
 DBG,
 DMA2,
 DMA1,
 RCC,
 GPIOH,
 GPIOG,
 GPIOF,
...]

etc. I can see most of the classes derivatives have a 'name' member (some don't though), we could discuss what the best approach is if you are open to it.

@Guillaume227: Sorry for my long off-time. I use Github only for publishing the master/develop branches. So I didn't recognize your request. I agree with your argument, that the printout is not very user-friendly. Your welcome to fork and support this tiny project. As you can see, documentation #1 is also outstanding as my part.
