parse_nl_config() is the only place the address family is chosen: it
defaults cfg->udp_config.family to AF_INET and only switches to
AF_INET6 when FOU_ATTR_AF is present. The &all_attrs anchor - the add
request, and the get do and dump reply - does not list af, so a ynl
generated client has no fou_add_req_set_af() and can never create an
IPv6 FOU port; the local-v6 / peer-v6 attributes it does list are read
by nothing. On the reply side fou_fill_info() puts FOU_ATTR_AF
unconditionally, and struct fou_get_rsp has no member for it.
kernel-policy is global, so fou_nl_ops[] carries no per-op attribute
list and af is already in fou_nl_policy through &select_attrs - only
the user space codegen and the rendered docs change, ynl-regen.sh
produces no diff.

fou_core.c uses nla_get_in_addr() / nla_put_in_addr() on both, i.e.
they are __be32, and port / peer-port in the same spec are already
annotated. Without byte-order YNL swaps them on little endian hosts.
The generated policy goes from NLA_U32 to NLA_BE32, which changes
nothing: lib/nlattr.c gives the two the same length in nla_attr_len[]
and the same range handling, and neither attribute has a range check.

The spec defines encap-type (unspec / direct / gue), but no attribute
references it, so the definition exists only to emit FOU_ENCAP_* into
the uAPI header - while FOU_ATTR_TYPE is exactly that value space:
fou_create() switches on FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT / FOU_ENCAP_GUE and returns
-EINVAL for anything else. Python YNL could not accept or display the
names and the generated C exposed a raw __u8 setter.
The global policy entry becomes NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U8, 2). For add
that only moves the existing fou_create() rejection earlier; del and
get ignore FOU_ATTR_TYPE altogether, so a bogus type there now fails
validation instead of being dropped on the floor.
