🎀 Constants 🎀

okay so these are your five options, your five little moods, your five flavors of "what should the self-test actually do" — no cap, that's the whole list ✨

• NVME_DST_STC_SHORT — Start a short device self-test operation. The lil quickie one, the drive just goes brrr for a sec 🔥
• NVME_DST_STC_LONG — Start an extended device self-test operation. The long one. The commitment one. Give it time, bestie 👑
• NVME_DST_STC_HOST_INIT — Start a Host-Initiated Refresh operation. Yeah it's a refresh, and yeah the host is the one initiating it 💅
• NVME_DST_STC_VS — Start a vendor specific device self-test operation. "VS" = vendor specific, meaning your drive's manufacturer does whatever they wanna do here, and honestly? iconic 🌈
• NVME_DST_STC_ABORT — Abort device self-test operation. Changing your mind is valid, periodt 🛑✨

fr fr: these are the exact constant names, so type them character for character — no renaming, no lowercase-ifying, the enum will Not forgive you 😭

and that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓
