I like to not have to constantly go back to the spec when I read code,
and having constant values defined through enums definitely helps in
this regard, but maybe it's just me.

IIRC, the prob context has to be kept in userspace anyway (and reset
when needed), and the rkvdec engine does not have any hardware context.
That's probably why this value is ignored here.

I don't see how adding an enum adds more work, given the enum values
match the ones defined VP 9 spec, but maybe I'm missing something.
