The gen-controls.py script handles the data structure produced by the
YAML parser manually through the whole code base. Clean this up by
encapsulating it in Control and ControlEnum classes to model a control
and its enum values respectively, to decouple YAML data handling from
generation.

No functional change intended.

Can you use "self.__enum_values is not None" ?
