Command configuration parameter has this information which is used be our HW
1.Device Id for Synchronization & acknowledgment with slow clock devices.
2.Endian type.
3.Blocking/unblocking channel after/before transfer.

Command configuration parameter should be passed in all the three modes 
and per transfer so this parameter is dynamic keep changing for each 
transfer.
