I'm not sure what you mean. Are you worried we might print something
outside the array bounds? How is this easier to decipher than GENMASK?

So I implemented your idea and it looks like this:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25821834/

I don't know how much we gained by adding the trick. I still had to be
careful not to be off by 1 when writing the list. Plus we are never
saying anything like printk("%s", state[LTSSM_STATE_DETECT_QUIET]. Its a
register read which is used to index the list array.
