Hi,

No problem, I'll break this up and resend it.

In order to use dev_info type functions I was planning on assigning the
comedi device's struct device to the struct subdevice's class_dev as
follows in comedi_alloc_subdevices as it appears that is is not used(I
could be wrong):

         return 0;
  }

The class_dev member is assigned by comedi_alloc_subdevice_minor(s) (which will be called if the subdevice supports asynchronous comedi commands) and is kept around for the call to comedi_free_subdevice_minor(s).

The struct comedi_subdevice has a pointer back to the struct comedi_device. The class_dev member in the struct comedi_device can be used as the device pointer parameter of dev_info() etc.

And adding a reference to the subdevice in the private  data structure
unioxx5_subd_priv in order to substitute pr_info with dev_info. If this
is fine I'll remove all references of pr_info in the file:

It would be better to change those functions to pass the pointer to the struct comedi_subdevice instead of the pointer to the struct unioxx5_subd_priv.

A variable or parameter named 'dev' in the comedi drivers is usually of type struct comedi_device for consistency.

The message passed to dev_info() wouldn't need the "COMEDI:" prefix - it's redundant.

Also, this particular message should be a dev_dbg() at best, and probably better not to have it at all!

For the sake of example, the above function could start as follows:

static void __unioxx5_digital_config(struct comedi_subdevice *s, int mode)
{
        struct unioxx5_subd_priv *usp = s->private;
        struct device *csdev = s->device->class_dev;
        int i, mask;

        mask = (mode == ALL_2_OUTPUT) ? 0xFF : 0x00;
        dev_dbg(csdev, "mode = %d\n", mask);
