Patch Review

**Macro design =E2=80=94 if-chain vs match:**

The generated `TryFrom` uses an `if`-chain:

```rust
$(if val =3D=3D <$enum_type>::$variant as $prim_type {
    return Ok(<$enum_type>::$variant);
})*
Err($err)
```

This is a pragmatic choice since Rust match arm patterns can't contain arbi=
trary expressions like `Self::Variant as u8`. The if-chain is functionally =
equivalent and the compiler will optimize it similarly. Acceptable.

**Missing `#[repr(u8)]` on `FalconFbifTarget` =E2=80=94 good catch:**

```rust
+#[repr(u8)]
 pub(crate) enum FalconFbifTarget {
```

The original code was already using `impl_from_enum_to_u8!` which did `valu=
e as u8` on this enum without an explicit `#[repr(u8)]`. While Rust does de=
fine discriminant values for field-less enums, adding the explicit repr is =
correct and makes the contract clear. This is a legitimate fix bundled into=
 the patch. Consider mentioning it more prominently =E2=80=94 perhaps as a =
separate `Fixes:` or at least calling it out in the subject as a pre-requis=
ite fix rather than "while at it."

**Hardcoded `kernel::error::Error` in the macro:**

```rust
type Error =3D kernel::error::Error;

fn try_from(val: $prim_type) -> core::result::Result<Self, Self::Error> {
```

The macro hardcodes the full path `kernel::error::Error` and `core::result:=
:Result`. This works, but the existing code used `Error` and `Result` via t=
he prelude (e.g., `type Error =3D Error;` and `fn try_from(value: u8) -> Re=
sult<Self>`). Using fully-qualified paths in macro-generated code is actual=
ly more robust and avoids depending on what's in scope at the call site, so=
 this is fine =E2=80=94 just noting the style difference.

**`FalconCoreRevSubversion` =E2=80=94 manual `From` impl added back:**

```rust
+impl From<FalconCoreRevSubversion> for u8 {
+    fn from(val: FalconCoreRevSubversion) -> u8 {
+        val as u8
+    }
+}
```

Since this enum can't use `impl_num_enum!` (due to the bitmask in `TryFrom`=
), it needs its own `From` impl. This is correct, but it re-introduces the =
exact one-off boilerplate that `impl_from_enum_to_u8!` was providing. Consi=
der whether the macro could support a "From-only" mode (e.g., `impl_num_enu=
m!(FalconCoreRevSubversion: u8)` without the variant list) to avoid this ma=
nual impl, or alternatively keep `impl_from_enum_to_u8!` around for just th=
is one case. Not a blocker, but worth considering.

**Minor style nit in `FalconCoreRevSubversion` TryFrom refactor:**

The patch also refactors the `TryFrom` for `FalconCoreRevSubversion` from:
```rust
-        let sub_version =3D match value & 0b11 {
-            0 =3D> Subversion0,
-            ...
-            _ =3D> return Err(EINVAL),
-        };
-        Ok(sub_version)
```
to:
```rust
+        match value & 0b11 {
+            0 =3D> Ok(Subversion0),
+            ...
+            _ =3D> Err(EINVAL),
+        }
```

This is a minor style cleanup that's unrelated to the macro work. It's fine=
 but is an unrelated change that could be split out per the "one logical ch=
ange per patch" convention.

**Nit =E2=80=94 the `FalconCoreRevSubversion` bitmask `_ =3D>` arm is unrea=
chable:**

After `value & 0b11`, the result is always 0=E2=80=933, and all four values=
 are covered. The `_ =3D> Err(EINVAL)` arm is dead code. The original code =
had the same issue, so this isn't introduced by the patch, but it could be =
cleaned up with an `unreachable!()` or simply removing it if the compiler c=
an prove exhaustiveness (it can't for computed values, so keeping the `_` a=
rm is fine =E2=80=94 just noting it).

**Overall:** Clean, well-motivated patch that reduces ~100 lines of boilerp=
late. The macro is straightforward and correctly handles the edge cases (ex=
cluded variants, different error types per enum). The `#[repr(u8)]` additio=
n to `FalconFbifTarget` is a worthwhile correctness fix. Minor suggestions =
above are non-blocking.
