TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS and TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_MASK can only currently contain further nested attributes, which are parsed by hand, so the policy is never actually used resulting in a W=1 build warning:
net/sched/cls_flower.c:492:1: warning: ‘enc_opts_policy’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=] enc_opts_policy[TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_MAX + 1] = { Add the validation anyway to avoid potential bugs when other attributes are added and to make the attribute structure slightly more clear. Validation will also set extact to point to bad attribute on error.
