Arturo reports ebtables-nft reports an error when -o is used in custom chains: -A MYCHAIN -o someif makes ebtables-nft exit with an error: "Use -o only in OUTPUT, FORWARD and POSTROUTING chains." Problem is that all the "-o" checks expect <= NF_BR_POST_ROUTING to mean "builtin", so -1 mistakenly leads to the checks being active.
