Indeed this is irritating. I assume I missed that and take the blame for
the wrong suggestions. Depending on how hardware copes with such a
configuration it might be ok to keep the code as is, but a comment would
be justified in this case.

Indeed, the tohw and fromhw callbacks must have no side effects.
There isn't a set_waveform call after each round_waveform.
