Validate that structures described in YNL match their C counterpart, currently focused on enums.
I don't see the point of this. LLMs will catch most of the problems and for the hundredth time classic netlink is not the focus for YNL. Anything genetlink can have YNL generate the code and uAPI so problems do no exist. Feel free to keep the code OOT and let's see if you can prove my assertion wrong within a couple of release :) If you have any ready fixes to the spec please post them. I'm also sitting on a bunch of fixes based on LLM scans, I'm just blocked on the "15 outstanding patches" limit :(
