Reverse the logic of the test against the cached value so that

Make the logic of the dac write a bit clearer by create a local
variable for the address used in the outw() calls and masking the
value to write and setting the enable bits before doing the outw()
calls. Add a comment just to make sure it's clear.

Also, add a comment about the 'return 1;'.  This should be
insn->n which is the number of data parameters used to do the
dac08_write_insn() but the insn is not a parameter to this
function.

It's probably better to make dac08_write() return void and return 1 in dac08_write_insn().

Actually, I think dac08_write_insn() ought to call dac08_write() in a loop, iterating over data[] and return insn->n. That's what the INSN_WRITE instruction is meant to do although it's not implemented all that consistently by the drivers.
