You should update the comment now :-)
And the comment on nla_attr_len as well.
With the comments fixed, this looks fine to me.
Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions•net>
Since we already have two tables now and may want to add attribute
types with exact enforcement in the future (like the BITFIELD32 one),
I'd actually do things a bit more data driven, but I haven't tested it
right now, and it's better done in net-next after this fix.
