That's a big set, not sure I can review it all at once :)

That should probably use __counted_by() these days.

I'd expect there to be a limit on channels being within a single band on
a single "hardware"?

"number of [...] hardware" sounds odd to me, perhaps 'devices'?

that?

So if there should be a limit on single band per HW then probably this
check could be written more efficiently: finding the band first based on
the first channel, and then checking all the channels exist within the
band.
