Is it possible for the non-HDMA IPs to override the channels count? Atleast any
such IPs supported in mainline now? If not, then I'd like to go with this
approach.
Because, this makes it explicit that override is only supported for HDMA IPs and
also simplifies the logic.

Thanks for such elaborative comparision :)
