Different channel sets for the different devices. It's slightly more static data, but
not too bad.  So basically how we did it before that is_visible function came along.
See max1363 or the version of adis16400 I'll push out to the onwards tree shortly.

That's the one big disadvantage I've seen, but I think the gains outweigh the slightly
larger amount of code in those places where is_visible is currently used.
