I think 6 is still fine, if we need more fields in the future we can
always have a port_config struct as a parameter instead.

Would be preferable to not have these values changeable at runtime.

It's more readable to me, but it's a subjective opinion here.

Ok, right (with do/while version it should not happen).
But maybe the !count case should be caught earlier, if even possible in fops.
