For enums you export to userspace, you need to specify the values so
that all compilers get them right.

I've never heard that rule before.  Where does it come from?
https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/enum
says:

  If enumeration-constant is not followed by = constant-expression,
  its value is the value one greater than the value of the previous
  enumerator in the same enumeration. The value of the first enumerator
  (if it does not use = constant-expression) is zero.
