I thought it looked a little odd when the enum was added in the
previous patch with the first value of 1, and only one value. Now it
makes more sense.

The actual value appears to not matter? It is always

So i would drop the numbering, and leave it to the compiler. The
patches will then look less odd.

Another case where -EPROTO might be better?
