Just to check, where do these max-* values come from?
Are they some correctness requirement of the bus this is attached to?
Are they tuning values?
The latter doesn't really belong in the DT. Given they're writeable from
the driver, it seems like that's what they are...

I'm not sure what this means. Could you elaborate on this is?

Don't mention drivers here.
All you need to state is that when the OS is not in control of the
management interface (i.e. it's a guest), the channel nodes appear on
their own, not under a management node.
Other than the above questions, this looks ok to me.
Thanks,
