Nitpick:

If you only have 1 patch, then you don't need "1/1" in the subject.
The term magic number here might be a little exaggerated, not so
magic actually. :-)

But, in general I agree that we could do that also since it is used
elsewhere in the same header file. Thus, this might be more consistent.

Nitpick: Likely, this could be reduced to one cast only.

Otherwise looks good.
