Subject: staging: comedi: drivers: introduce comedi_request_region()
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f375ac5f197d32aeffe5436e5864525cc14ce44a;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

staging: comedi: drivers: introduce comedi_request_region()

Introduce a helper function to handle the request_region() for legacy
comedi drivers.

As pointed out by Ian Abbott, legacy devices are configured manually
with the "comedi_config" program. The error messages are useful
diagnostics when trying to attach to these boards.

Providing a helper function allows consolidating the error messages
in the drivers and providing a consistent format for the errors.

This helper also sets the dev->iobase automatically for the driver
if the request_region() is successful.
