[PATCH net 1/3] netlink: specs: mptcp: fix if-idx attribute type
From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>

Subsystem:
networking [general], networking [mptcp], the rest, yaml netlink (ynl) · Maintainers:

This attribute is used as a signed number in the code in pm_netlink.c:
nla_put_s32(skb, MPTCP_ATTR_IF_IDX, ssk->sk_bound_dev_if))
The specs should then reflect that. Note that other 'if-idx' attributes
from the same .yaml file use a signed number as well.
