SVDConv silently fails on Linux to --generate=sfr

SVDConv silently fails on Linux to "--generate=sfr". This is probably due to the missing sfrcc2.exe that only exists/is called on Windows.

SVDConv should generate some error in this case of missing sfrcc2.exe.
And also the documentation should mention, that "--generate=sfr" is only supported on Windows.

I've just run into this problem myself and was confused as to why until I took a look at how svdconv attempts to generate SFR files.

Is there any chance the CMSIS Toolbox itself could include SfrCC2 that can then be compiled for different platforms? At my place of employment, though we develop on Windows, we have CI machines that run Linux on amd64/aarch64. My intention was to generate SFR files during build to alleviate git performance issues, however that seems impossible as SfrCC2 is shipped with uVision

Sorry, we have no plans of porting SfrCC2. As you rightly say it is part of Keil MDK uVision which is available for Windows only.
