Re: [PATCH net-next 0/4] netlink: fix ynl spec tooling robustness bugs

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.

Why are you doing this? What's your intended use?
YNL extensions for classic families are unlikely to be accepted.
It's definitely not a goal for us to backfill all the ancient baggage.

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.

So you know that the Fixes tags are pointless and yet you add them?
Please, if it's not a bug that needs to go to LTS it should not have 
a Fixes tag :/
