p54: disable channels with incomplete calibration data sets

Browse Source 
James Grossmann [1] reported that p54 spews out confusing
messages instead of preventing the mayhem from happening.

the reason is that "p54: generate channel list dynamically"
is not perfect. It didn't discard incomplete channel data
sets and therefore p54 advertised to support them as well.
