Do we have > any similar properties already in other drivers? Well, it seems the AT91 ADC has a similar property called adc-channels-used. Not sure if it means the same as here. We are not using it to model a hardware availability but the channels being reserved for another core or OS.

If we really need to pass the number of channels, shouldn't we have a separate property for that? Note that no driver currently needs it. > Absence of the property could still mean you know how many channels > and all are enabled. > This property was originally proposed to be "called cosmic,adc-available-channels". Andrew suggested to reverse the polarity, and be explicit about absence of property meaning no reserved channels (also in [1]). I'm fine either way.
