Presently, the comments for the minimum and maximum channels are
misleading. In the SoundWire/Disco specification these are actually
channel indexes not a count of the number of channels. So for example
min_ch=4 and max_ch=5 means that 1 or 2 channels are supported.
Update the comments associated with the structure to make this
more clear.

The SoundWire/DisCo specification defines all the supported channel
properties as optional and states that in the case none are specified
defaults of min_ch=0 and max_ch=7 should be used. If both properties
are not present in the DisCo the current code results in min_ch=0
and max_ch=0. As min_ch and max_ch are both channel indexes, users
can't discern if they should interpret this as the default case
(1-8 channels supported) or the DisCo specified a single valid
channel of 0 (1 channel supported).
In the case there are no valid supported channel properties populate
max_ch with 7 as the specification suggests, to avoid the ambiguity.
Also as the specification says only parse the channel number properties
if there is no channel number list.

Changes since v2:
- Moved the parsing of min/max channels to only be processed if
num_channels is missing
