On success the channel is associated with the qcom_smd_device, which
tears down all associated channels on destruction.
I have not yet seen any reason for decoupling the life cycle of a
channel further from the device (in most cases it's very must 1:1).
But I will update the comment above to clarify this fact, thanks!
