mmmh, this function gets a generic struct intel_guc_ct_channel as input 
but here it assumes that it is the host one. If we want it to be generic 
then we need to pass the owner from outside, otherwise if we assume that 
this is the host channel then we can just do:

	ctch = &guc->ct.channel;

without passing it as a parameter. My preference goes to option 1.

Do we still need this structure now that there is no ida? Can't we just 
use intel_guc_ct_channel directly?

maybe something like
	
	/* id of the channel owner */

might be clearer as the owner does not decide its id, it can only decide 
the sub_ids

> +	u32 reserved[6];

I know from our IM conversation that you prefer to not define the 
subtracking_id field because we do not use it. However, until now we're 
always kept our definitions in sync with the GuC FW so I'd prefer to do 
the same here. We can use a comment to make the field use clear even if 
we don't use it at the moment.

Thanks,
Daniele
