Right. Current impl. does not check that the non-std selectors received, are
sent with a DCB_ATTR_DCB_APP type. We could introduce a new check
dcbnl_app_attr_selector_validate() that checks combination of type and
selector, after the type and nla_len(attr) has been checked, so that:

validate type -> validate nla_len(attr) -> validate selector

dcbnl_app_attr_type_get() in dcbnl_ieee_fill() takes care of this. IEEE are
always sent in DCB_ATTR_IEEE and non-std are sent in DCB_ATTR_DCB.
