I guess I "still" liked it back then :)

So with that setup people who want to fiddle with the card in 'expert'
mode could override the card's eeprom reg domain stuff by suitably
changing crda db instead of recompiling the kernel.

But if I read your follow-ups correctly, going that way wasn't actually
a big win.  I didn't then (much less now) have the time to explore it
in actual code.

That doesn't cover the person who wanted to use all_channels, but at
least that is exported by a modparam today.  There are probably other
things that an 'expert' would want to do beyond these two, though.
