+struct pci_dev *comedi_to_pci_dev(struct comedi_device *dev);

For the function prototypes I prefer no names for the "pointer" parameters.

The "struct foo *" declaration is just as clear as "struct foo *bar".

Maybe, but checkpatch.pl doesn't agree (not since commit ca0d8929e75ab1f860f61208d46955f280a1b05e anyway)!
