Sakari, do you think it is ever possible that an entity may have pad ops,
but num_pads goes at some point to 0?

If so, then we can check for sd->entity.function != 0. All MC subdevs must
set that to a non-0 value, otherwise the core will issue a WARN_ON. I think
it is the only reliable indicator that can be used.
