This is obviously very specific to the system you're working with and
therefore doesn't belong in the generic driver.  The device should be
dealing with its own configuration, it shouldn't need to know about what
specifically is connected to it.  It's not even clear what they're doing
in this driver given that there doesn't appear to be any use of the
information, it feels like this is something that the machine driver
should be encapsulating.

Like I said with previous reviews this use of magic numbers for the
interfaces is a bit of a red flag, internally within a driver they're
fine but they shouldn't leak out too much except with things like
numbering an array.
