No, please implement the API properly.

You only have one instance of vibe_start_work, as well as only one
"slot" to hold the effect you want to start. So if you issue 2 request
back to back to play effect 1 and 2 you are likely to end with
info->start_effect == 2 and that is what vibe_start_work handler will
observe, effectively dropping request to play effect 1 on the floor.

Again, please implement the driver properly, not define your own
carveouts for the expected behavior.
Thanks.
