Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/13] tools: ynl-gen: don't consider requests with fixed hdr empty

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2025 17:03:55 -0700

C codegen skips generating the structs if request/reply has no attrs.
In such cases the request op takes no argument and return int
(rather than response struct). In case of classic netlink a lot of
information gets passed using the fixed struct, however, so adjust
the logic to consider a request empty only if it has no attrs _and_
no fixed struct.
