GENMASK()

Do we know what these bits are so they could be named with defines and 
then combined with NAMED1 | NAMED2?

Please use named defines instead of BIT(x) so you won't need comments 
anymore.

Are the above BIT(1) | BIT(2) actually same as hybrid & discrete here? In 
that case the naming them with defines makes the connection between them 
and these array entries much clearer.

= {}; is enough to initialize to default values (x2).

Please use reverse xmas-tree order.

Please don't leave empty line between call and it's return value check.

This should probably be split for clarity.

Please split to two ifs.

Please add include for ARRAY_SIZE().

Unnecessary cast.
