Weird, I was convinced that if you specify enum by default the code gen
will automatically generate the range check to make sure that the value
is within the enum..

Looks like it does, this is the policy, right?

+static const struct nla_policy netdev_queue_get_do_nl_policy[NETDEV_A_QUEUE_QUEUE_TYPE + 1] = {
+	[NETDEV_A_QUEUE_IFINDEX] = NLA_POLICY_MIN(NLA_U32, 1),
+	[NETDEV_A_QUEUE_QUEUE_TYPE] = NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U32, 1),
