Introduce the specification of tc qdisc DualPI2 stats and attributes, which is the reference implementation of IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9332) providing two different queues: low latency queue (L-queue) and classic queue (C-queue).
General comment is that this does not work. Please test it like this:
sudo tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle 1: root dualpi2 ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py \ --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/tc.yaml --dump getqdisc
Consider moving this patch to the end of the series so that it can be tested against the implementation patches.

These enums need to be defined as part of the UAPI in pkt_sched.h and this file needs to be in sync with those definitions.
This enum seems to contradict the comment in sch_dualpi2.c:
