SSI can control how many slots to generate and which slot to send data. Yes,
the normal case, which should be defaulting to normal two slots I2S case, can
be configured by SSI driver itself as you mentioned. I'll add it to startup().

Then only those machine drivers using multiple slots (>2) need to call it.
