Hello Xavier,

thanks for trying to mainline this hardware support.

I know right now there is only one control, but you are reserving 16 controls 
in PATCH 5/9. So for me it seems sensible to make this an array already, so 
that additional controls can be added here easily.

IMHO this won't need any further changes if an array is already being used.
I'm eager to try it once you can provide an example how to use it.
