That's a bad name, because it doesn't just enable it also disables.
Please split them.

Same applies to all other stuff, that's using optionOnOff:
rf69_set_sync_enable(optionOn/Off) enables and disbales sync,
rf69_set_crc_enable(optionOn/Off) enables and disables crc,
...
In my opinion, if we want perfect clarity, we should stay with optionOnOff.
If we are ok, if rf69_set_sync_enable(false) disables sync,
in my opinion, we also have to be ok, if rf69_set_amp_X_enable(false)
disables the amp.

Hi,
I agree with Dan. rf69_enable_sync() / rf69_disable_sync() is clear. If
there are more functions like this (e.g. for crc) then we'll just split
those functions as well.
If you really want one single function for enabling/disabling then I
think that you need to find a better name. Something like
rf69_set_sync_operation(bool), rf69_set_crc_operation(bool), etc.

Hi Simon, hi Dan,
if you both are of the same opinion, for me, it's fine, if we go with
two functions.
But I don't get the advantage, if we split approx. 10 functions, to get
rid of enum optionOnOff.
Keep in mind, that if you split the functions, in the interface
implementation you also need more code:
SET_CHECKED(rf69_set_sync_enable(dev->spi, rx_cfg->enable_sync));
will have to be converted in something like
if (rx_cfg->enable_sync)
SET_CHECKED(rf69_set_sync_enbable(dev->spi);
else
SET_CHECKED(rf69_set_sync_disable(dev->spi);
For me, it is important, that the configuration, you'll have to write in
the user space program (aka fill out the config struct) will be 100%
non-ambigious and easy to read.
Cheers,
Marcus
