This series is nice and I'm not nacking anything, but really is it
that useful to say:
	status = inw(dev->iobase + PCI6208_AO_STATUS);
instead of just?:
	status = inw(dev->iobase);

I'm not sure what the 0x00 in PCI6208_AO_CONTROL represents.  Some
of these are not used like PCI6208_DIO_DI_SHIFT.

Does checkpatch.pl complain if you leave off these parenthesis?  If
so I will complain again to the checkpatch.pl people.  Extra
parenthesis are silly and there not used consistently.  Only
PCI6208_AO_CONTROL() and PCI6208_AO_STATUS_DATA_SEND() need
paranthesis.

Again, I'm fine with this patch and the whole series.  These are
just comments.

regards,
dan carpenter
