To compare the same string to different allowed values in Perl we
generally prefer to either use a hash map with known OK values as keys,
or alternatively a regex, e.g.:

if (fc($ty) =~ /^(static|generated|vpx)$/) {
    # ...
}

If there are only a ~ handful of different option, like here, this is
still easy to read but avoids some line bloat.

If you want you can send a v2, else I can also change this on applying?
