Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 00/11] tools: ynl: prepare for wireguard

This series contains the last batch of YNL changes to support
the wireguard YNL conversion.

The wireguard changes, to be applied on top of this series,
has been posted as an RFC series here:
  https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250904-wg-ynl-rfc@fiberby.net/

v4:
- Added a few Reviewed-by (thanks Donald).
- In patch 4, changed the implementation a bit, to avoid overloading.
- In patch 6, expose __ynl_attr_validate(), and move ynl_attr_validate()
  to ynl-priv.h, as an inline function.
- Dropped v3 patch 5 and 6 from this series.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250911200508.79341-1-ast@fiberby.net/
- Rebased on top of new net-next, after Matthieu's cleanup.
- Added a Reviewed-by (thanks Donald).
- Added the parsing local vars cleanup as patch 7
- In patch 4, change to use set() for deduplication.
- In patch 8, declare __ynl_attr_validate() as static.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250910230841.384545-1-ast@fiberby.net/
- Added Reviewed-by's to unchanged patches. Thanks to all reviewers.
- Patch 4, refactors local variables for .attr_put() callers, and
  replaces the old patch 4 and 5.
- Patch 5 and 6 are new, and reduces the differences between the 3
  .attr_put() callers, so it might be easier to keep them in sync.
- Patch 7, now validates the nested payload (thanks Jakub).
- Patch 8, now renames more variables (thanks Jakub),
- Patch 10, got a dead line remove (thanks Donald).
- Patch 11, revised hex input to support macsec (suggested by Sabrina).
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250904-wg-ynl-prep@fiberby.net/
