That doesn't work. It would be creating 2 address spaces at one level
with channel@0 and config@0. The way to address this is add a
'configs' node with config@N children.

My question here though is where does 20-27 come from. I suspect it's
made up which isn't good either. Addresses should also be rooted in
something in the h/w.
