Ok, so it looks like I need to do something similar in my series to
validate max_nr_ports in probe() instead of validate()? (multi port is
not enabled by default).

I wonder if we need to document this and rename the validate to
validate_features() (since we can do very little thing if we can't
read config in .validate()).
