A lot of drivers assume that if you paid for a device with N channels you
probably want N channels. Of course there are always boards that wire a subset
but it's optional whether a driver cares about that.

We have drivers where not channel nodes being supplied means they are all
on so this is extensible if we later decide that fine grained information about
what is routed where is needed or need to add per channel controls.

So fine to drop this.
