Convert the struct addi_board initialization to C99 format and remove
all the NULL or 0 initializers. This makes maintaining and editing the

Nice job, this driver is a pain to read...

Thanks. I agree... I've been avoiding the addi drivers until now.
Anytime a C file has an #include "something.c" it makes me
shudder...

I've been thinking that the addi stuff should really be broken up
into some library modules with exported symbols for the individual
addi drivers to use. I need to look a bit closer at them to see if
this would work. Right now the whole thing is a bit of a mess.

TBH, I don't know how they got accepted into Comedi in the first place. They tend to do their own thing as far as comedi instruction handling goes. I've no idea who's using them. It makes me shudder, too! Did I mention the use of floating point in some of their drivers that we had to disable?
