====================
netlink: specs: enforce strict naming of properties

I got annoyed once again by the name properties in the ethtool spec
which use underscore instead of dash. I previously assumed that there
is a lot of such properties in the specs so fixing them now would
be near impossible. On a closer look, however, I only found 22
(rough grep suggests we have ~4.8k names in the specs, so bad ones
are just 0.46%).

Add a regex to the JSON schema to enforce the naming, fix the few
bad names. I was hoping we could start enforcing this from newer
families, but there's no correlation between the protocol and the
number of errors. If anything classic netlink has more recently
added specs so it has fewer errors.

The regex is just for name properties which will end up visible
to the user (in Python or YNL CLI). I left the c-name properties
alone, those don't matter as much. C codegen rewrites them, anyway.

I'm not updating the spec for genetlink-c. Looks like it has no
users, new families use genetlink, all old ones need genetlink-legacy.
If these patches are merged I will remove genetlink-c completely
in net-next.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
