Sorry for the delay, some minor "take it or leave it" nits below.

the unused attrs can usually be skipped, the specs now start with value
of 1 by default. Same for the unused command.

Avoid array-nests if you can, they are legacy (does this spec pass JSON
schema validation?).

There's only one attribute in the nest, can you use

	- 
	 name: op
	 type: u32
	 multi-attr: true

?

No attributes listed? User space C codegen will need those to make
sense of the commands.
