value-start defaults to 0 for enum so this is unnecessary. Same for
the following enum definitions.

There's no dev-get do/dump op. I think there should be one for
diagnostics and metrics.

This doesn't work because key-new doesn't have a reply. You should
define it with an event: block instead. You can see the build errors
here:

make -C tools/net/ynl
