Device links are a serialisation of a color transform. lcms supports to
dump color transforms to device links and load a device link into a
color transform. Device link profiles come with little effort. Device
links provide applications a entry to let the compositor do custom color
space conversions on the GPU.

Constrain device link to 3 in/out color channels as for the surface
color space too. No need for 15 channels here.
