I had the same question after analyzing the specs ;)

That's said, abstracting from the spec could be a good idea if we have newer
versions of the spec re-defining the VICs.

Maybe the right thing to do would be to rename the presets as:

V4L2_DV_CEA861_VIC_16
V4L2_DV_CEA861_VIC_35_36
...

(or course, preserving the old names with compatibility macros)

Cheers,
Mauro
