Jakub Kicinski 0939a418b3 tools: ynl: submsg: reverse parse / error reporting
Reverse parsing lets YNL convert bad and missing attr pointers
from extack into a string like "missing attribute nest1.nest2.attr_name".
It's a feature that's unique to YNL C AFAIU (even the Python YNL
can't do nested reverse parsing). Add support for reverse-parsing
of sub-messages.

To simplify the logic and the code annotate the type policies
with extra metadata. Mark the selectors and the messages with
the information we need. We assume that key / selector always
precedes the sub-message while parsing (and also if there are
multiple sub-messages like in rt-link they are interleaved
selector 1 ... submsg 1 ... selector 2 .. submsg 2, not
selector 1 ... selector 2 ... submsg 1 ... submsg 2).

The rt-link sample in a subsequent changes shows reverse parsing
of sub-messages in action.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
