Instead of an allocation of a single u16 per channel, allocate them all in a single chunk which greatly reduces memory fragmentation and also the overhead to track the allocated memory. Also put the channel data in driver data where it's cheaper to determine the address (no function call involved, just a trivial pointer addition). This also allows to get rid of the request and free callbacks. The only cost is that the channel data is allocated early, and even for unused channels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
