As for the remarks in patch 02, it's possible for chanlist to be NULL or 
for chanlist_len to be 0, so cb_pcidas_ai_check_chanlist() should only 
be called if chanlist is non-NULL and chanlist_len is non-0.

But if chanlist is forced to be NULL by __comedi_get_user_chanlist() 
when chanlist_len is 0, it would be sufficient to check that chanlist is 
non-NULL before calling cb_pcidas_ai_check_chanlist().

The original code is buggy as well because it accesses cmd->chanlist[0] 
without checking cmd->chanlist_len.

Ditto for calling cb_pcidas_ao_check_chanlist().
