Hi Niklas,

Thank you for the patch.

This looks pretty good to me. I'd remove the parentheses around each test 
though.

One potential issue is that if this macro operates on an unsigned value (for 
instance an u32, which is the type used for the colorspace field in various 
structures) the compiler will generate a warning:

enum.c: In function ‘test_4’:                                                                                                                                                                             
enum.c:30:16: warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true 
[-Wtype-limits]                                                                                                              
  return V4L2_COLORSPACE_IS_VALID(colorspace);

Dropping the first check would fix that, but wouldn't catch invalid values 
when operating on a signed type, such as int or enum v4l2_colorspace.
