OK, so the question now is why is this being done using a callback and why is that callback picking from a list of predefined configurations? You've not motivated this decision at all and it's not obvious to me that it's the best approach (for example, why not just let the machine driver set the parameters at any time rather than have it wait for a callback)? The picking from a list is especially odd, what I said in my previous review was: | If you look at the existing interface you'll also see that it takes an | array of parameters rather than just a single parameter.
