Yes, that was the idea. Not sure what happened here :-)

On my first internal versions, this used to be below, but I guess
the best is to place it here, because, if the next i2c_transfer
fail, this would still reflect the current state.

Yes, I know it could wait for more time here, but not sure if it would
be worth doing it. The problem is that 1000ms is already a lot of time,
and if this gets too long, userspace may any giving up of tuning,
anyway.

Again, this should be DCL.

It used to, on my original version, where I was setting config->is_off only
at the end :-)

Yeah, checking for DCL is a way more reliable.

Yeah, sure! I'm currently in travel, returning only on Friday, and I don't
have the hardware to test. So, if you can send it, I'd appreciate :-)
