Look like you implement CPU DAI or application constraint in the codec...
Here is a use case that does not match with your implementation:
2 dmics multiplexed on a SPI bus connected to the CPU DAI peripheral.
The SoC peripheral is able to decimate and multiplex the both PDM
streams in a stereo PCM stream.
At PCM level this can be exposed as a stereo capture (Left + Right). In
this case your channel map description does not match.

In your implementation seems not linked to hardware but software...

DMIC driver description specifies the channels_max to 8 channels.
I suppose that it is used for DMIC codecs that integrate filters and are
connected to CPU DAI with I2S/PCM links. But it can be also used for
DMIC connected to CPU DAI with a SPI link (in this case decimation
filter in on Soc side).

If we continue to support both use cases, specify the number of channels
seems reasonable but this should be use to change the max channel
constraint, not to declare a control.
