I don't think this makes sense, see below.

I think it might be better to split this into two separate functions.
Both branches have absolutely no code in common, so splitting them off
would decrease the indentation level and make this much more readable
and wouldn't require the configuration enumeration from above.

The problem here, which is true for both of the .set_polarity() and
.config() implementations is that both channels share a single duty
cycle and polarity. What if the two channels are configured with
conflicting settings? Shouldn't that at least give a warning or even
return an error?

What's this "action qualifier module"?
