The drm.debug module parameter values are, arguably, ABI. There are tons
of people, scripts, test environments, documentation, bug reports, etc,
etc, referring to specific drm.debug module parameter values to enable
specific drm debug logging categories.

AFAICT you're not changing any of the values here, but having an enum
without the hard coded values makes it more likely to accidentally
change the category to bit mapping. At the very least deserves a
comment.


BR,
