Hmm... This isn't quite right...
The 16 single-ended / 8 differential analog input channels on this
board is
set with a switch on the PCB. The state of the switch should be read
when
the driver is attached and the subdevice initialized with the correct
number
of channels. The core will then validate the "chan" number before
calling
the (*insn_read) operation.

Hartley
Hartley,
If that is the case then why is the check for max channels here. I can send in a v2 removing this check as it seems unneeded based on my understanding and your response to this patch.
Nick
The patch is fine, but now superceded by Hartley's series of patches
which has more extensive changes to the driver:
http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/driverdev-devel/2015-February/065754.html
That set of patches assumes the switches remain in the same state
through the lifetime of the device instance, which seems reasonable for
a PCI card.
