Yes. I would personally avoid it (not needed so far), but sure it can work.

$ grep ^ID /etc/os-release # SLE Micro
ID="sl-micro"
ID_LIKE="suse"

$ grep ID_ /etc/os-release # Tumbleweed
ID="opensuse-tumbleweed"
ID_LIKE="opensuse suse"

$ grep ^ID /etc/os-release # SLES 15-SP6
ID="sles"
ID_LIKE="suse"

$ grep ^ID /etc/os-release # SLES 12-SP5 (still supported)
ID="sles"

If we dare to ignore SLE12-SP5 (and older), we could use:
=> grep -q -w ID_LIKE.*suse /etc/os-release
(Using -w to mitigate "suse" as part of longer word.)

There is another problem: mpls_setup() also tries to load modules

modprobe -a mpls_router mpls_iptunnel mpls_gso failed
on both lhost and rhost via:

tst_net_run -s "modprobe -a $TST_NEEDS_DRIVERS"

which is run on all mpls tests. And even mpls01.sh gets fixed,
the other 3 remaining tests fails due missing --allow-unsupported for other mpls
modules.

I guess we can expect both sides are the same distros, thus we could do
evaluation only on lhost. And, we could for simplicity run modprobe also on both
sides in mpls01.sh, thus putting it into function. This code could be in new
function and called in mpls_setup + in mpls01.sh:

	local module
	local args

	grep -q 'sl-micro' /etc/os-release && args='--allow-unsupported'

	if [ "$TST_NEEDS_DRIVERS" ]; then
		tst_net_run -s "modprobe $args -a $TST_NEEDS_DRIVERS"
	fi

Wei, feel free to add it into new version. I can fix your grep in your version
and send a follow up patch. Whatever you prefer.

Kind regards,
Petr
