I'm not convinced at all by the increased readability of this one.
To me it adds obfuscation since I have to look for the macro definition
to see how it checks whether the type is set or not.
I think you'd rather simply open-code the macro here and keep the natural
comparison. The fields were already initialized to the NOT_SET value, better
check agaist the same value here especially since it matches other tests as
well. That would give :
- if (lcd_proto < 0)
+ if (lcd_proto == NOT_SET)
lcd_proto = LCD_PROTO_PARALLEL;
etc... To me it's more readable.
