That patch set doesn't allow userspace to change the purpose. It provides
a *_label attribute for each channel to allow for identification of the channel.
That can be provided by ACPI / DT or can be provided by the driver itself.
The advantage is that it removes the nasty freeform parsing that is needed
to work out the filenames.
