This module's PCI device table has separate PCI device IDs for PCI-6208
and PCI-6216, but in reality, both boards and their cPCI and PCIe
variants seem to have the same PCI device ID: 0x6208. The PCI subdevice
ID doesn't seem to help either.
It shouldn't do any harm to claim 16 AO channels for all devices
supported by this driver. The original PCI-6216 is just a PCI-6208 with
a daughter board providing the extra DACs. The data is clocked out to
the DACs serially with no acknowledgment. I assume this would still
happen when the DACs for the upper 8 channels are missing. Therefore,
change the driver to support a single board type with 16 AO channels,
and remove the suspicious PCI device ID for the PCI-6216.
Evidence about lack of a separate PCI device ID for PCI-6216 follows....
1. Jesus Vasquez reports the following lspci output for a PCIe-6216 on
his Ubuntu 12.04 system:
lspci -n -vvv

Region 2: I/O ports at c000 [size=256]
Kernel driver in use: adl_pci6208
Kernel modules: adl_pci6208
That system's "adl_pci6208" module only has the single PCI device ID for
the PCI-6208, but works for his PCIe-6216 except that it only supports 8
analog output channels instead of 16.
2. ADLINK's binary Linux module "pci6208.ko" (there is no separate
module for the PCI-6216) has a single alias:
alias: pci:v0000144Ad00006208sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
3. The MS Windows drivers include this set of hardware IDs for the
PCI-6208 series, with nothing more specific for the PCI-6216 (they are
all tied to the same name "ADLINK PCI-6208" and there is no mention of
PCI-6216):
PCI\VEN_10B5&DEV_9050&SUBSYS_62089999
PCI\VEN_144A&DEV_6208&SUBSYS_6208144A
PCI\VEN_144A&DEV_6208&SUBSYS_62089999
PCI\VEN_144A&DEV_6208&SUBSYS_C208144A
PCI\VEN_144A&DEV_6208&SUBSYS_C20855AA
