    kernel: swconfig: make compatible with kernel 5.2 · 35ab804e
    Mathias Kresin authored
    
    Since kernel 5.2 within netlink messages the NLA_F_NESTED nested flag is
    validated. But swconfig/swlib doesn't set the flag for
    SWITCH_ATTR_OP_VALUE_PORTS related netlink messages and assigning ports
    to vlans via
    
      swconfig dev switch0 vlan 1 set ports '0 1 2 3 4 6t'
    
    Errors put with "Failed to set attribute: Invalid input data or
    parameter".
    
    Relax the validation rules and use the deprecated functions, to use the
    same level of validation as it was till kernel 5.1. Depending on who has
    swconfig related netlink messages implemented, there might be more
    broken tools out there and we should keep backward compatibility if
    possible.
