This seems quite an arbitrary change. What's wrong with the existing
phrase ?

Even more than 1/2, I am a bit failing to see what is missing in the
existing doc. If it feels better to others who will have a look, I for sure
won't oppose this change though :)

"Given" is vague and does not really say who gives and who is given.
Is it the kernel or the application? It kept confusing me.
I tried to turn it into a "selected", which has more "application" vibes,
but I was asked to change it to "specified".
IMO this could benefit from an active voice, but I didn't want to rewrite it completely.
About "access the enumeration" - this serves to show the data structure up front.
In my original patch it was "array", which hopefully implies some things:
that it's continuous and indexed.
I was asked to get rid of "array" though.
Thanks,
