As discussed at:
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250610101331.62ba466f@foz.lan/

changeset f061c9f7d058 ("Documentation: Document each netlink family")
added a logic which generates *.rst files inside $(srctree). This is bad
when O=<BUILDDIR> is used.

A recent change renamed the yaml files used by Netlink, revealing a bad
side effect: as "make cleandocs" don't clean the produced files and symbols
appear duplicated for people that don't build the kernel from scratch.

This series adds an yaml parser extension and uses an index file with glob for
*. We opted to write such extension in a way that no actual yaml conversion
code is inside it. This makes it flexible enough to handle other types of yaml
files in the future. The actual yaml conversion logic were placed at
netlink_yml_parser.py.

As requested by YNL maintainers, this version has netlink_yml_parser.py
inside tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ directory. I don't like mixing libraries with
binaries, nor to have Python libraries spread all over the Kernel. IMO,
the best is to put all of them on a common place (scripts/lib, python/lib,
lib/python, ...) but, as this can be solved later, for now let's keep it this
way.

     This script performs extensive parsing to the Linux kernel's netlink YAML
     spec files, in an effort to avoid needing to heavily mark up the original
-    YAML file.
-
-    This code is split in three big parts:
-        1) RST formatters: Use to convert a string to a RST output
-        2) Parser helpers: Functions to parse the YAML data structure
-        3) Main function and small helpers
+    YAML file. It uses the library code from scripts/lib.
