Nope, it's just like the other output in that it can be disabled so give
it it's own disable attribute.  The naming currently proposed looks a little
strange for this... hmm.  Perhaps change to dds0_out1_wavetype etc for the
other elements.
dds0_out_disable (for both) and dds0_out1_disable allows this channel to be
separately disabled.

That's fine.  You have dds0_out1_wavtype_available and dds0_out0_wavetype_available
to say what is possible for each of the two outputs of dds0.

Excellent, I had missed that.
