Introduce a helper function to handle the request_region() for legacy
comedi drivers.
As pointed out by Ian Abbott, legacy devices are configured manually
with the "comedi_config" program. The error messages are useful
diagnostics when trying to attach to these boards.
Providing a helper function allows consolidating the error messages
in the drivers and providing a consistent format for the errors.
This helper also sets the dev->iobase automatically for the driver
if the request_region() is successful.
I wouldn't have set dev->iobase automatically, just in case some driver
wants to request two regions, for example das16.c (and pcl818.c before
you removed the unused DMA code).
