The code to do the dynamic allocation would be larger than the array of pointers for the sane worst case. > I am not quite sure how exactly you want to do this via DT.

For a given platform the number is constant and they need to be described, so it seems to make no sense to put it anywhere other than the DT for that platform. Why should users have to pass magic config options not use DT as intended ?
