You do not have to re-send because of this, just a note that in this
case it makes more sense to use anonymous enum. Indeed, you do not need
this 'ltq_nor_state' name at all, and C enums are not proper types
anyway (no real type-checking), so it is just a tiny bit nicer to do:

enum {
	LTQ_NOR_PROBING,
	LTQ_NOR_NORMAL
};

But this is not important at all, just a side note :-)
