If you're on a D1, you don't need a dt property to tell you the number
of channels, you already know it to be 8. Couple ways driver could
implement that, for example: if the dt-binding requires the property on
the R329, you could set 8 as the default and overwrite it if the
property exists - which would only be permitted on the R329.
Up to you.
