Hmm... Isn't changelog in the cover letter is not enough?

This "Need 16+" comment seems unfinished as it doesn't tell why.

Is sprintf.h being included already?

Redundant blank line.

It's not NULL terminated. How users will know that they have an index valid?
Either you NULL-terminate that, or export the size as well (personally I would
go with the first approach).

Besides that this can be written as
return method >= DRM_WEDGE_RECOVERY_REBIND && method < DRM_WEDGE_RECOVERY_MAX;

this seems a runtime approach for what we have at compile-time, i.e. static_assert()
It's also possible to have as a third approach, but it's less robust.
