This result in common source code (which is good), but it will be
duplicated in everything that includes this file.

Do you have no common code, available to both the endpoint and host?
You could (in drivers/bus/mhi/common.c, for example).

If you don't, I have a different suggestion, below.  It does
basically the same thing you're doing here, but I much prefer
duplicating an inline function than a data structure.

You could easily and safely define this as an inline function instead.

#define MHI_STATE_CASE(x)	case MHI_STATE_ ## x: return #x
static inline const char *mhi_state_string(enum mhi_state state)
{
	switch(state) {
	MHI_STATE_CASE(RESET);
	MHI_STATE_CASE(READY);
	MHI_STATE_CASE(M0);
	MHI_STATE_CASE(M1);
	MHI_STATE_CASE(M2);
	MHI_STATE_CASE(M3_FAST);
	MHI_STATE_CASE(BHI);
	MHI_STATE_CASE(SYS_ERR);
	default: return "(unrecognized MHI state)";
	}
}
#undef MHI_STATE_CASE
