To be slightly pedantic, we'd also want to make sure the we do not rely
on the zero value for reading, like:

  if (display_state->format)
     ....

But having looked over the code, we don't (it's always a switch or
equality with a known name), so this is safe to do.

Thanks for cleaning this up.

Just for similar situations in the future, I think we could do:

  DISPLAY_FORMAT_FULL = 1,

if we were worried about keeping the zero-behavior the same for existing
callers. But given how new and how limited this code is, I feel
confident that we've checked all of the code, and what you've written
above is preferable.
