There is an existing comedi_request_region(dev, start, len) function
used by COMEDI drivers for legacy devices to request an I/O port region
starting at a specified base address (which must be non-zero) and with a
specified length. It uses request_region(). On success, it sets
dev->iobase and dev->iolen and returns 0. There is a alternative
function __comedi_request_region(dev, start, len) which does the same
thing without setting dev->iobase and dev->iolen.
Most hardware devices have restrictions on the allowed I/O port base
address and alignment, so add new functions
comedi_check_request_region(dev, start, len, minstart, maxend, minalign)
and __comedi_check_request_region(dev, start, len, minstart, maxend,
minalign) to perform these additional checks. Turn the original
functions into static inline wrapper functions that call the new
functions.
