I initially had __builtin_ffs() in mind which is even more ugly.

Which would confuse the users since that's not how enums are normally used.

Why not just switch() it?

	for_each_set_bit(opt, &method, size) {
		switch (BIT(opt)) {
		case DRM_WEDGE_RECOVERY_REBIND:
			recovery = "rebind";
			break;
		case DRM_WEDGE_RECOVERY_BUS_RESET:
			recovery = "bus-reset";
			break;
		}

		...
	}

I know we'll have to update it with new additions, but it'd be much simpler,
atleast compared to introducing and maintaining a new struct.

With above in place this won't be needed.
