Double checked with IP module owner by looking into the RTL code,
writes to CHANnCTL registers have no effect.
This register is reserved and the doc will be updated.
Verified on both MX8QXP and MX8MQ.

All channels are isolated and have independent programming model.
So it will be okay to define them separately in device tree.

Sounds good to me.
