I'm not so sure. It currently uses "chan" to mean the offset to
add to the "PMIC Arbiter channel registers" so that we can access
the appropriate peripheral via the arbiter registers. I actually
can't remember what APID or PPID stand for, so perhaps describing
that as well would be helpful so we can navigate this acronym
soup.

That's all fine, but perhaps we shouldn't worry about "apid"
being attached to interrupts? I mean, I can imagine some
peripheral that doesn't interrupt, but we want to read/write it
and that must be done with the "channel" or "apid" or really the
"magic offset from the base of the channel registers" to do so.
Probably APID is fine, as long as APID means "application
processor peripheral id" or something along those lines.

PPID->APID? No channel?

Is this comment still relevant?

Why do we still call the flag PMIC_ARB_CHAN_VALID then? Shouldn't
it be PMIC_ARB_APID_VALID?
