I know it should cover both cases, or that is what I dedcuded because
you moved the simple compare into a helper. It works in this case,
because all values just have mutually exclusive bits, thus I think this
deserves a comment.

Usually, you'd mask a field and then compare it with a value. So I'd
have expected sth like:

#define MASK (SNOR_PROTO_INST_MASK | SNOR_PROTO_ADDR_MASK |
SNOR_PROTO_DATA_MASK)
return proto & (MASK | SNOR_PROTO_IS_DTR) == SNOR_PROTO_8_8_8_DTR;

I don't think this is the best place for sanity checks TBH.
