Looking at the fact that preset is rather device specific, I'd be tempted to
not put it info_mask yet, but keep it as an ext_info element until we
get a feel for how it is used in more devices.

Good docs on the whole.

This new ABI was always going to take a few rounds to
come to an agreement!

Thanks,

Jonathan

State what values it can take. Actually I'd make this a conventional boolean
and use the fuzzy stuff in str_to_bool.
(so basically 0 or 1)

I'm still confused on what this is actually doing. What are the A and B inputs?

Presumably this of for cases with phsical limits and a system that will slip.
(i.e. stepper that is ramming into an end stop). Horrible ;)

Perhaps we can have a more informative name, afterall preset is used for all
sorts of things depending on mode.

in_countY_set_to_preset_on_index (wordy but makes it clear I think?)
