I tend to disagree.

There is an error prone approach esp. when we talk with some functions
that unifies OF/ACPI driver data retrieval with legacy ID tables.
In such a case the 0 from enum is hard to distinguish from NULL when
the driver data is not set or not found. On top of that the simple integer
in the legacy driver data will require additional code to be added in
the ->probe().
