Hi,

yes sure. That is a candidate for a symbolic name. Though if you use
it once, I see no benefit, but it does not hurt either. The member
is named and that is the important thing.

A line like

if (rate > 38400) return -EINVAL;

is not so good

if (rate > MAX_BAUD) return -EINVAL;

better

But:

device->maxbaudrate = 38400

is better than

device->maxbaudrate = MAX_BAUD

You see the point?

	Regards
