TBH I don't remember how much precedent there is for C codegen
depending on jsonschema for spec input validation. My gut tells
me to do:

+    if family.msg_id_model == 'unified':
+        render_uapi_unified(family, cw, max_by_define, separate_ntf)
+    elif family.msg_id_model == 'directional':
+        render_uapi_directional(family, cw, max_by_define)
+    else:
+        raise ..

and then we can indeed drop the validation of the arg directly
