The PCI-1760 board unique. It uses a outgoing/incoming mailbox programming

I wouldn't normally complain, but if you're going to repost, the word "is" is missing in the first sentence.

sequence to access the hardware. The other boards supported by this driver
use simple register mapping. Including support for the PCI-1760 in this
driver just makes it harder to understand.

Separate out the PCI-1760 support into a new driver, adv_pci1760.

Clean up the new driver. The original code had a bunch of CamelCase and
other checkpatch.pl issues.

The code used to access the outgoing/incoming mailboxes was also a bit
awkward with the passing of the arrays for the outgoing and incoming
mailbox bytes. Replace them with two new functions that send a command
and return the feedback data from the command based on the programming
flow chart in the datasheet for the PCI-1760.

The new adv_pci1760 driver also fixes the incomplete timer subdevice.
This subdevice is actually the 2 PWM outputs so the subdevice type
has been changed to COMEDI_SUBD_PWM.

The counter subdevice support was not complete in the original code.
For now that subdevice has been disabled (COMEDI_SUBD_UNUSED).

Nasty typo!

Apart from that, it looks great. Feel free to add "Reviewed-by: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>" if reposting.
