CC'd the device tree maintainers to see if I can get a comment on this one.
(done from this initial posting of the patch so that the code is still present).
I've avoided the patch for a while because opinion was divided.

Lars-Peter Clausen commented:

I've said before that I'm not convinced that this is the right way to implement this. And considering what Thomas said
here http://www.mail-archive.com/devicetree-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg36691.html I guess I'm not alone with that opinion.

Marek replied:

He's talking about different versions of the IP block, this is the same IP
block, just connected to different inputs.

Alexander added:

I don't have any strong opinion on that and I'm certainly not an expert
but thinking about that, I feel this is different from the discussion
Thomas had. Those are reference voltages and describe how the IP block
is connected whereas what Thomas was describing is supporting multiple
versions of an IP block by describing heaps of registers in the DT. It
may look ugly here because you have a lot of channels but I find that
quite acceptable.

Personally I'm falling slightly on the side of this being a bad idea as the
fact they are specified in the processor device tree files and clearly lines
up with the compatible strings suggests this is ought to be in the driver
not the device tree.

Anyhow, looking for more opinions / acks as appropriate.

Incidentally I'm very glad that people have come forward to help with
this stuff!
