It's done elsewhere:

    % egrep chdlctype epan/dissectors/packet-ipv6.c
      dissector_add("chdlctype", ETHERTYPE_IPv6, ipv6_handle);

"chdlc_vals[]" is used only to show the value of the type field
symbolically.  It should be updated to include all type values for which
dissectors register with "chdlctype".
