Hi Neels,

AFAICS you are mixing up "puncturing scheme" and "Coding and Puncturing
Scheme", there are still only three puncturing schemes, where up to 3 of
them may be used with a certain MCS. The P scheme has to be changed
(incremented IIRC) after each use.

Nevertheless choosing a safe value for INVALID is probably not bad if
there might be another P in some future spec. But I'd be careful with
negative values in enums.

(I didn't check that against the current version of the code, so I might
be completely out of sync).
