The `hardware_device` member of `struct comedi_device_info` is only set to point to a hardware device by the auto-configuration code (specifically `comedi_alloc_board_minor() with a non-NULL `hardware_device` parameter) so that it can be found again by the auto-unconfiguration code (specifically `comedi_release_hardware_device()`). However, as `info->device->hw_dev` (where `info` is a pointer to the `struct comedi_device_info`) is set to the same value as `info->hardware_device` (by calling `comedi_set_hw_dev()` with the same hardware device pointer) we can look for that instead, so there is no need for the `hardware_device` member any more. Get rid of it.
