I'm not entirely sure on this. The property described is still true for

feeling would be to keep them, unless there's a plan to better describe
the properties of the XOR channels.

It shouldn't harm the kernel to have some properties we don't use at
this point in time. If we want to reorganise the binding, the first step
would be to make the properties as deprecated, rather than removing them
outright.

Ok, that matches what I was originally thinking.  The bindings are
supposed to be OS-agnostic, so the fact that we no longer use it is
irrelevant.  The hardware still has the capability.

Sebastian, I'm just going to drop this patch.

Sure, I am fine with dropping it.
