You mean the check for !next_proto? It needs to be present for
correctness of nsh_push. This function has to be self contained, it
will be used by more callers than opevswitch, namely tc.

It's actually not so much a check for "supported protocols", it's
rather a check of return value of a function that converts ethertype to
a 1 byte tunnel type. Blindly using a result of a function that may
return error would be wrong. Openvswitch is free to perform additional
checks but this needs to stay.

There's no check here.

Did you mean this one instead? Then see above, this has to stay.
