Preparatory patch: If the same compatible is used for different SoCs which
have a common register layout, but different number of channels, the
channel count can no longer be stored in the config. Store it in the
device structure instead.

As stated already, we already are going to have a different
compatible, and this is not something that will change from one
instance to the other. Having code is therefore:
  A) Making the code more complex
  B) For no particular reason.
