Now I see why you sent the ynl-gen patch you sent :) It's the
combination of nest and multi-attr which doesn't populate the right
policy. Also the enums are not policed right by ynl-gen.

I pushed two fixes to my local tree:
https://github.com/kuba-moo/linux/commits/ynl-c
in case you need them. I'll submit them on Monday.

I also tried to run the user space C code gen (for generating C
API/lib as described in [1]). It seems to work just fine, FWIW, so
just LMK if C bindings would be useful, I can give more instructions.
