Yes, it's nice that all the configure variables are of the same type.

On this topic, I am a bit confused about the naming scheme. We have the
lower case ones, e.g. 'nvme_trtypes' and now the upper case ones
NVMET_TRYPES. I assume you prefer the upper case to mark them they are
injected from the environment and the lower case ones are globals
variables in the framework. Should we retire the lower case ones and
replace them with upper case ones?
