And, for completeness, if the kernel eventually uses C23 enums (I
don't see any, from a quick grep), i.e. with an underlying type, then
in C the variants will actually have that type, not `int`:

    enum c23_enum : short { c23_enum_a, c23_enum_b };

    _Static_assert(_Generic(c23_enum_a, short: 1, default: 0), "");
    _Static_assert(_Generic(c23_enum_b, short: 1, default: 0), "");

    _Static_assert(_Generic((enum c23_enum)0, short: 1, default: 0), "");

And `bindgen` will have the underlying type too, so everything matches
in that case:

    pub const c23_enum_c23_enum_a: c23_enum = 0;
    pub const c23_enum_c23_enum_b: c23_enum = 1;
    pub type c23_enum = ffi::c_short;

So, in a way, what `bindgen` tries to do (for the normal ones) is
behave a bit like these new ones.

But I always wondered if it is good or not differing there.

Cheers,
