Nikhil,

There's a generic script in OE-Core under scripts/contrib/convert-overrides.py 
that does a bunch of regexps on a layer:
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/scripts/contrib/convert-overrides.py

It is best suited for OE-Core, of course, as each layer usually brings tons of 
own overrides, especially BSP and Distro layers. So the script needs to be 
adjusted to each layer individually, but is a good start. And it usually takes 
several iterations and lots of reviews to get it almost right...

BTW, I'll be converting meta-arago next, but meta-ti is a high priority now 
and needs to be merged ASAP, as bitbake from master will refuse to parse most 
of the old override syntax.
