The "comedi_fc" module contains a few functions for use by several
low-level comedi drivers.  Since they are used by quite a few drivers,
it seems useful to migrate their functionality to the core "comedi"
module, renaming them in the process, while keeping the original
function names in "drivers/comedi_fc.h" available for now.  This set of
patches accomplishes that.

The next stages after this will be to migrate the remaining inline
functions from "drivers/comedi_fc.h" (possibly making them externally
exported functions, although they are rather short), and then to update
the low-level drivers to call the functions with the new names,
eliminating the need to include "comedi_fc.h".  Then
"drivers/comedi_fc.h" can be removed as well.

Note that PATCH 10 has a couple of checkpatch warnings due to
changing an existing block comment in non-standard block-comment style.

PATCH 11 has a checkpatch warning to check whether MAINTAINERS needs
updating.  It doesn't.

PATCH 11 might conflict with some other patch series that haven't been
committed yet.

Ian,

Other than I think the comedi_fc.c functions should be migrated to
comedi_buf.c instead of drivers.c I have not problems with this.

I think it's debatable. The only one of the three functions you mentioned that touches the buffer is comedi_inc_scan_progress(), and I'd rather keep that with comedi_bytes_per_scan().

And, patch 11 does have a conflict with your "... use dma_alloc_coherent..."
patches.

Yes, I'll have to fix up one or the other, depending which gets applied first (unless git can magically sort it out with a three way merge).

But,
