Wasn't there a patch for named constant support in dtc a while back?
Hmm:
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/devicetree-discuss/2012-January/011184.html
I'm not sure that going down the CPP path is better than the
possibility of named constants having a different syntax from
macros/functions. It would be one thing if someone were actively
working on the latter, but this paralysis seems to be a case of the
perfect being the enemy of the good.
