[PATCH net 1/3] netlink: specs: mptcp: fix if-idx attribute type

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-09-08 21:27:56
Also in: linux-doc, linux-kselftest, lkml, mptcp, stable
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [mptcp], the rest, yaml netlink (ynl) · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Matthieu Baerts, Mat Martineau, Linus Torvalds, Donald Hunter

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.
