I don't see that. Some people might want to be able to use multichannel on RPi, but that's something very different than adding code that just lies about driver capabilites.
I am going to invite you over for dinner to eat steamed vegetables :) If I make the steamed vegetables in the microwave and they taste like steamed vegetables, are they steamed vegetables ?
I have a bcm2835 (Pi 2 and 3) SoC here. It is producing multichannel (8 out, 6 in) audio. In ALSA we call that DSP mode - right ?!
If a chipset can do multichannel, do we need to invent a new DSP mode name to call it dsp mode ? Surely not, because steamed vegetables are steamed vegetables :)
Just because steamed vegetables are made in the microwave doesn't mean they don't belong in the Linux Kernel !
