+Subject: [PATCH] tools: ynl: process unknown for enum values
+
+Extend the process_unknown handing to enum values and flags.
+
+Tested by removing entries from rt-link.yaml and rt-neigh.yaml:
+
+./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family rt-link --dump getlink \
+    --process-unknown --output-json | jq '.[0] | ."ifi-flags"'
+[
+  "up",
+  "Unknown(6)",
+  "loopback",
+  "Unknown(16)"
+]
+
+./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family rt-neigh --dump getneigh \
+    --process-unknown --output-json | jq '.[] | ."ndm-type"'
+"unicast"
+"Unknown(5)"
+"Unknown(5)"
+"unicast"
+"Unknown(5)"
+"unicast"
+"broadcast"
