[PATCH v2] staging: comedi: introduce 'comedi_board' helper function

From: H Hartley Sweeten
Date: Fri Apr 27 2012 - 17:10:41 EST


This helper function is used to fetch the comedi_device board_ptr
which is used during the attach to pass board specific information
to the comedi drivers.

V2: change name

With this helper removing all the 'this_board' defines in the drivers
will be easier (and cleaner).
