This function probes a number of the boards registers during the (*attach) to verify that it is actually a PCL-818 compatible board. For aesthetics, move the function closer to the (*attach). Refactor the function to return an errno if fails. Change the errno from -EIO to -ENODEV and remove the unnecessary comedi_error() noise. Make sure the CONTROL register is reset to a known state after the check. The 0x18 value actually defines an invalid interrupt selection and sets an undefined bit. Add a couple comments to clarify the magic values.
