I don't know why it wouldn't be :) I kind of grew used to that when I
still did some networking stuff.

It doesn't really matter in this case but for example the netlink
headers do:

enum {
   foo,
#define foo foo
   bar,
#define bar bar
...
};

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5-rc6/source/include/uapi/linux/rtnetlink.h

What is the good here is that this allows one to nicely exclude
unsupported stuff using preprocessor:

#include <header_with_or_without_foo_dependng_on_version.h>

#ifdef foo
use_foo(foo);
#endif

What about:

Anyways, I don't see why define wouldn't be Ok here - but sure it can
be changed if you insist ;) Just let me know if you can accept the
define or not :)
