-Subject: [PATCH] ovsdb: Fix verification error when ovs daemon off
-
-When applying `ovs-db: {}` with ovs daemon stopped, nmstate will fail
-with:
-
-    NmstateError: VerificationError: Verification failure:
-    ovsdb.external_ids desire '{}', current 'null'
-
-Fixed by treating `ovs-db: {}` as
-
-```yml
-ovs-db:
-  external_ids: {}
-  other_config: {}
-```
-
-Unit test case and integration test case included.
