Subject: tools: ynl-gen: add sub-type check
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8df78d97e49816eacb7a8c4da63bf1e8be4e20ac;p=users%2Fhch%2Fmisc.git

tools: ynl-gen: add sub-type check

Add a check to verify that the sub-type is "nest", and throw an
exception if no policy could be generated, as a guard to prevent
against generating a bad policy.

This is a trivial patch with no behavioural changes intended.
