Never mind the second bit: lp552[13] uses the `channel` field internally
to store a custom index.  This LPG driver simply iterates over all the
led channels (stored in the LPG struct, with all necessary info) in the
same order as the subleds in the multicolor led device, so it's most
likely of no use for us.
