Interesting.
Please go ahead with your code because you have already verified it.

Not a performance issue but I just wanted to make the code modular as much as possible.

And like I asked, this sanity check is also needed for other actions (PORT_ID and VLAN).
That's why I just wanted to have more generic way.

I'm not sure which way is clearer considering all that.

I don't have a strong objection about your current code but please make sure you add the
same sanity check for other existing acitons in a unified way. Also I hope the macro
(IS_MODIFY_ACTION) has better name.
