Just one miss here: you need to bump SETUP_TYPE_MAX. It is a bit more confusing than it needs to be that SETUP_INDIRECT sits in between, and honestly I think SETUP_TYPE_MAX shouldn't include the SETUP_INDIRECT bit; however, this is uapi and so we can't change that per se.

Perhaps we should do:

#define SETUP_ENUM_MAX SETUP_RNG_SEED
#define SETUP_INDIRECT (1<<31)
#define SETUP_TYPE_MAX (SETUP_ENUM_MAX | SETUP_INDIRECT)
