Add a test framework for YAML Netlink (YNL) tools, covering both CLI and ethtool functionality. The framework includes:
- cli: family listing, netdev, ethtool, rt-* families, and nlctrl operations
- ethtool: device info, statistics, ring/coalesce/pause parameters, and feature gettings
The current YNL syntax is a bit obscure, and end users may not always know how to use it. This test framework provides usage examples and also serves as a regression test to catch potential breakages caused by future changes.
Hm, my knee-jerk reaction was that we should avoid adding too much ynl stuff to the kernel at this point. But looking closer it's not that long.
Do I understand correctly, tho, that you're testing _system_ YNL? Not what's in tree?
