types are irrelvant for the kernel.  They are ONLY used by the nft tool
so it knows how to format output.

I suspect you need to fix up the generated payload expressions
for ipv6.  Essentially, in the ipv6 case, you have a concatenation

ipv4_addr . ipv4_addr . ip4_addr . ipv4_addr . inet_service

(ipv6 address needs 4 32-bit registers)

i.e., you need to use a different destination register when you store
the tcp/udp port, else you will clobber a part of the ipv6 address.
