Does checkpatch complain about this, really?  This is a code change and
needs to be explained in the commit message at least.


Yes. It complained:
WARNING: kfree(NULL) is safe this check is probably not required
#745: FILE: drivers/staging/dgap/dgap.c:745:

I saw no reason to leave the brd->channels[i] = NULL; there.

This is ugly.  Do:

	brd = kzalloc(sizeof(struct board_t), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!brd)
		return -ENOMEM;

	dgap_Board[dgap_NumBoards] = brd;

Except really that assignment should happen after the other allocations
which can fail.  Otherwise we end up with a freed pointer in
dgap_Board[dgap_NumBoards] on error.

Double negatives hurt your brain cells for no reason.  (This has been
proven by science).

  			snprintf(dgap_cword, MAXCWORD, "%s", w);
  			for (t = dgap_tlist; t->token != 0; t++) {

Ok. I'll redo this one next week also.

Thanks
