I am sorry, I believed it was your pseudo. If it is your real name, no change are needed.

I asked for parallel processing since I didnt see any locking or way to prevent hardware to be used in the same time.
But the final work is done by a firmware call, so my knowledge stop here.

This should be in the cover letter.
