The names of the values are still of the form LINKTYPE_, as they're likely to 
be used as C/C+/etc. #defines, which conventionally are all-caps or 
mostly-caps. (This also matches what's done in macOS and probably other OSes, 
tcpdump, and Wireshark for #defines for EtherTypes, which are of the form 
ETHERTYPE_.)
