Hello!
This series is intended to address several robustness bugs found in the ynl
tooling and the netlink-raw YAML specification.
These issues were found while writing a netlink-raw spec for the Bridge
VLAN family. However each stands independently of that work, and fixes
bugs in the parser that can be reproduced against the existing spec
definitions.
The patches in this series carry Fixes tags, but are all in developer
tooling and have no effect on the running kernel. That is why they have
been targeted at net-next rather than net.
