That would be *a lot* to define... So in keeping with the current practice of
using numerical values + comment documenting what the values are, it is why I
suggested the comment change above this also as the asc/ascq names for this are
added. It would be odd to have macros for just this asc/ascq here with so many
other places using numerical values...

Note: I personally find https://www.t10.org/lists/1spc-lst.htm more than enough
to work with the scsi code. If we have to define macros for all this, that would
be a lot of lines...
