Nothing wrong with a macro.

Maybe something like:

#define comedi_find_board(array, board_id)		\
({							\
	int i;						\
	typeof array *p = array;			\
	typeof array *rtn = NULL;			\
	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(array); i++, p++) {	\
		if (p->device_id == board_id) {		\
			rtn = p;			\
			break;				\
		}					\
	}						\
	rtn;						\
})
