Impossibility of using spare Urukul alongside with SUServo

[thomasfire]

Bug Report

One-Line Summary

Combining Urukul with and without SUServo in the same configuration result in compiler error when trying to use both.

Issue Details

Steps to Reproduce

class DDSTest(EnvExperiment):
    def build(self):
        self.setattr_device("core")
        self.setattr_device("urukul2_ch2")
        self.setattr_device("urukul2_cpld")

        self.setattr_device("suservo0")
        self.setattr_device("urukul0_cpld")
        self.setattr_device("suservo0_ch0")

    @kernel
    def run(self):
        self.core.reset()

Expected Behavior

Every part of the code works fine without errors.

To work around this, you can make a subclass of CPLD (empty body) that is used in the device db for the suservo Urukuls. This is what we do in Oxford internally.

Of course, we should implement a workaround like that upstream as well (including integration with the JSON machinery which we are not using yet).
