This function is more complicated than it needs to be because of the
consts.  It's not worth saving them because we drop the consts anyway
when we return (void *)name_ptr.

You could simplify it further by keeping one of the consts:

static void *comedi_recognize(struct comedi_driver *driv, const char *name)
{
	unsigned i;
	const char **name_ptr = driv->board_name;
	for (i = 0; i < driv->num_names; i++) {
		if (strcmp(*name_ptr, name) == 0)
			return name_ptr;
		name_ptr = (void *)name_ptr + driv->offset;
	}
	return NULL;
}
