+CC Fabrizio who has a fix series under review for the same driver.
I'm going to let this one sit on the list for a little while.
It is a breaking ABI change (that hopefully no one will notice - given
the first fix from Fabrizio shows the driver crashes on probe currently we
should be safe on that).
Arguably just changing the index would also have been an ABI change, but
that would have gotten past any code that didn't take much notice of the
channel index whereas this won't.
Anyhow, will give it a little while for comments then pick this up
on top of Fabrizio's fixes series. Give me a poke in 2-3 weeks if I
seem to have lost it.
