Jiri Pirko e8a6c515ff tools: ynl: allow user to pass enum string instead of scalar value
During decoding of messages coming from kernel, attribute values are
converted to enum names in case the attribute type is enum of bitfield32.

However, when user constructs json message, he has to pass plain scalar
values. See "state" "selector" and "value" attributes in following
examples:

$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml --do pin-set --json '{"id": 0, "parent-device": {"parent-id": 0, "state": 1}}'
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml --do port-set --json '{"bus-name": "pci", "dev-name": "0000:08:00.1", "port-index": 98304, "port-function": {"caps": {"selector": 1, "value": 1 }}}'

Allow user to pass strings containing enum names, convert them to scalar
values to be encoded into Netlink message:

$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml --do pin-set --json '{"id": 0, "parent-device": {"parent-id": 0, "state": "connected"}}'
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml --do port-set --json '{"bus-name": "pci", "dev-name": "0000:08:00.1", "port-index": 98304, "port-function": {"caps": {"selector": ["roce-bit"], "value": ["roce-bit"] }}}'

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
