Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 0/7] ynl: add support for user headers and struct attrs
Add support for user headers and struct attrs to YNL. This patchset adds
features to ynl and add a partial spec for openvswitch that demonstrates
use of the features.
Patch 1-4 add features to ynl
Patch 5 adds partial openvswitch specs that demonstrate the new features
Patch 6-7 add documentation for legacy structs and for sub-type
v2 - v3: all requested by Jakub Kicinski
- Drop genlmsg fix that was applied separately
- Don't mention 'kernel' types, leave it to schema
- Avoid passing fixed header around in python code
- Use 'binary' with 'sub-type' for C arrays
- Use 'binary' with 'struct' for C structs
- Add docs for structs and sub-type
v1 - v2: all requested by Jakub Kicinski
- Split ynl changes into separate patches
- Rename user-header to fixed-header and improve description
- Move fixed-header to operations section of spec
- Introduce objects to represent struct config in nlspec
- Use kebab-case throughout openvswitch specs
