It might be clearer to use some term other than enabled in the code -
when reading I wasn't immediately sure if enabled meant that it was
available to be selected or if it was the active operating point.  How
about 'allowed' (though I'm not 100% happy with that)?

Mismatch with the return type and value here.

When reading the description I'd expected to see some facility to
trigger selection of an active operating point in the library (possibly
as a separate call since you might have a bunch of operating points
being updated in quick succession) but it looks like that needs to be
supplied externally at the minute?
