Encoders are not a "normal" subdevice in comedi. For aesthetics, tidy up this function and add a couple comments to clarify the function. Remove the strange munging of the data. The encoder data is decoded in quadrature and used to increment or decrement a 24-bit counter. Adding 0x800000 to the counter value doesn't make any sense.
