I understand that, but when in future you'll try to add some new mode,
it will cause a change of RTE_ETH_FEC_NUM value.
As I remember, abicheck will report it as ABI breakage.
So adding new values to that enum will be really problematic.

I think you can use RTE_DIM(fec_mode_name) here instead of RTE_ETH_FEC_NUM.

BTW, one more thing - as you translate from mode to capa all over the place,
I think it deserves a separate macro for it.
Something like:
#define RTE_ETH_FEC_MODE_TO_CAPA(x) (1U << (x))
