I'm yet to find any pylint Rxxx warning that I didn't have to
disable ;-)

This particular one is useless for us, as it basically tells that PyYAML
has a big class hierarchy.

> tools/net/ynl/pyynl/lib/doc_generator.py:28:4: W0221: Number of parameters was 3 in 'SafeConstructor.construct_mapping' and is now 2 in overriding 'NumberedSafeLoader.construct_mapping' method (arguments-differ)

I'll fix this one to prevent potential future issues.

Changing the code to:
 
-class NumberedSafeLoader(yaml.SafeLoader):
+class NumberedSafeLoader(yaml.SafeLoader):              # pylint: disable=R0901
     """Override the SafeLoader class to add line number to parsed data"""
 
-    def construct_mapping(self, node):
-        mapping = super().construct_mapping(node)
+    def construct_mapping(self, node, *args, **kwargs):
+        mapping = super().construct_mapping(node, *args, **kwargs)
         mapping[LINE_STR] = node.start_mark.line
 
         return mapping

This should hopefully be future-proof.
