Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging : Comedi : comedi_fops : Fixed the return error
code
try_module_get fails when the reference count of the module is not
allowed to be incremented ,and hence -ENXIO is returned indicating
no device or address.

The patch itself is okay, but all the stuff around the patch is a bit
weird, such as:
1. all those email headers in the commit message
2. useless indentation in the commit message
3. subject line in commit message says "PATCH 2/2", but email subject
line says "PATCH 1/2"
4. stray comma in email subject line
5. spaces before colon in subject lines
This is taking too long, so I'll post a cleaned-up version.
