My understanding is that there is agreement on this, so merging as-is.

As possible follow-ups, I think it would be nice to drop the generated
files from the source tree and instead trigger the re-generation on-
demand. Additionally the yaml files could include an SPDX-License-
Identifier in an initial comments, I think.

Thanks,

p.s. I guess we have new todo item for the mptcp protocol ;)
