Side note: There is a potential for more micro-optimization here: You
could save 4 bytes of padding if you move all bools together at the end
of the struct. :D

Nitpick: Why is the u16 const when the other (non-pointer) members are
not? The u16 also feels a bit like overkill here. The struct would have
exactly the same size with a full unsigned int because of padding.

Alternatively, you could consider using an empty last entry as sentinel
instead of adding the count (i.e. with NOC_QOS_MODE_INVALID = 0). Not
sure what is cleaner here.

I haven't looked closely at the actual conversion of the definitions in
the drivers. What is the chance that you made an accidental mistake in
there? Or was it scripted? :D

Thanks,
