ARGH.

We asked to -NOT MAKE THIS A COMPILE TIME OPTION-

CONFIG_foo is as bad as your previous ifdef, in fact you just added a
useless config option here.

Make that number dynamic. Count the entries in the device-tree (or add
a property with the number in it, whatever you fancy the most) but make
it something detected at RUNTIME !!!!!
