I plan on using the userinit section for parsing command line options. This is where I plan to allow users to specify modbus connection parameters. Is that the preferred way to configure the driver? I did not intend to check in wj200_vfd.c. I looked at my repository on github, and it doesn't

I am more interesting in doing things better, and more efficiently. If doing things the Fanuc way is an improvement, fine. If not, lets not go there. Fanuc, HAAS, etc. have decades of experience and teams of very bright people looking into how and why to do things the way they do them -
