Subject: staging: comedi: change comedi_alloc_board_minor() to return pointer
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7638ffcb50903d9ddbf605c7e9578d72658a960a;p=linux-beck.git

staging: comedi: change comedi_alloc_board_minor() to return pointer

Change `comedi_alloc_board_minor()` to return a pointer to the allocated
`struct comedi_device` instead of a minor device number.  Return an
`ERR_PTR()` value on error instead of a negative error number.  This
saves a call to `comedi_dev_from_minor()` in `comedi_auto_config()`.

Also change it to use a local variable `dev` to hold the pointer to the
`struct comedi_device` instead of using `info->device` all the time.
