The family struct is auto-generated for new families, support
use of the sock_priv_* mechanism added in commit a731132424
("genetlink: introduce per-sock family private storage").
For example if the family wants to use struct sk_buff as its
private struct (unrealistic but just for illustration), it would
add to its spec:
kernel-family:
headers: [ "linux/skbuff.h" ]
sock-priv: struct sk_buff
ynl-gen-c will declare the appropriate priv size and hook
in function prototypes to be implemented by the family.

Support using pre-defined values in checks so we don't need to use hard
code number for the string, binary length. e.g. we have a definition like
#define TEAM_STRING_MAX_LEN 32
Which defined in yaml like:
definitions:
-
name: string-max-len
type: const
value: 32
It can be used in the attribute-sets like
attribute-sets:
-
name: attr-option
name-prefix: team-attr-option-
attributes:
-
name: name
type: string
checks:
len: string-max-len
With this patch it will be converted to
[TEAM_ATTR_OPTION_NAME] = { .type = NLA_STRING, .len = TEAM_STRING_MAX_LEN, }

accordance with Documentation/userspace-api/netlink/c-code-gen.rst.
Use cmd-cnt-name and attr-cnt-name in the mptcp yaml spec and in the
corresponding uAPI headers, to preserve the #defines we had in the past
and avoid adding new ones.

Page pool code is compiled conditionally, but the operations
are part of the shared netlink family. We can handle this
by reporting empty list of pools or -EOPNOTSUPP / -ENOSYS
but the cleanest way seems to be removing the ops completely
at compilation time. That way user can see that the page
pool ops are not present using genetlink introspection.
Same way they'd check if the kernel is "new enough" to
support the ops.
Extend the specs with the ability to specify the config
condition under which op (and its policies, etc.) should
be hidden.

Extend the support to full range of min/max checks.
None of the existing YNL families required complex integer validation.
The support is less than trivial, because we try to keep struct nla_policy
tiny the min/max members it holds in place are s16. Meaning we can only
express checks in range of s16. For larger ranges we need to define
a structure and link it in the policy.

In case an attribute is used in a subset, the type has to be currently
specified. As the attribute is already defined in the original set, this
is a redundant information in yaml file, moreover, may lead to
inconsistencies.
Example:
attribute-sets:
...
name: pin
enum-name: dpll_a_pin
attributes:
...
-
name: parent-id
type: u32
...
-
name: pin-parent-device
subset-of: pin
attributes:
-
name: parent-id
type: u32 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Add a display-hint property to the netlink schema that is for providing
optional hints to generic netlink clients about how to display attribute
values. A display-hint on an attribute definition is intended for
letting a client such as ynl know that, for example, a u32 should be
rendered as an ipv4 address. The display-hint enumeration includes a
small number of networking domain-specific value types.

Ethtool's PSE PoDL has a attr nest with different prefixes:
/* Power Sourcing Equipment */
enum {
ETHTOOL_A_PSE_UNSPEC,
ETHTOOL_A_PSE_HEADER, /* nest - _A_HEADER_* */
ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_STATE, /* u32 */
ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL, /* u32 */
ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS, /* u32 */
Header has a prefix of ETHTOOL_A_PSE_ and other attrs prefix of
ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ we can't cover them uniformly.
If PODL was after PSE life would be easy.
Now we either need to add prefixes to attr names which is yucky
or support setting prefix name per attr.

I relicensed Netlink spec code to GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause but
we still put a slightly different license on the uAPI header
than the rest of the code. Use the Linux-syscall-note on all
the specs and all generated code. It's moot for kernel code,
but should not hurt. This way the licenses match everywhere.

I was intending to make all the Netlink Spec code BSD-3-Clause
to ease the adoption but it appears that:
- I fumbled the uAPI and used "GPL WITH uAPI note" there
- it gives people pause as they expect GPL in the kernel
As suggested by Chuck re-license under dual. This gives us benefit
of full BSD freedom while fulfilling the broad "kernel is under GPL"
expectations.

I had a (bright?) idea of introducing the concept of enum-models
to account for all the weird ways families enumerate their messages.
I've never finished it because generating C code for each of them
is pretty daunting. But for languages which can use ID values directly
the support is simple enough, so clean this up a bit.
"unified" model is what I recommend going forward.
"directional" model is what ethtool uses.
"notify-split" is used by the proposed DPLL code, but we can just
make them use "unified", it hasn't been merged :)

Add schemas for Netlink spec files. As described in the docs
we have 4 "protocols" or compatibility levels, and each one
comes with its own schema, but the more general / legacy
schemas are superset of more modern ones: genetlink is
the smallest followed by genetlink-c and genetlink-legacy.
There is no schema for raw netlink, yet, I haven't found the time..
I don't know enough jsonschema to do inheritance or something
but the repetition is not too bad. I hope.
