An alternative may be to convert it into a very simple driver by 
stripping out all the interrupt, timer and watchdog stuff, and just 
leave an AI subdevice just with insn_read support.  But even that seems 
hopelessly broken in this driver - it doesn't seem to bother selecting 
the channel or the range, for example.  So I've no qualms about removing 
it altogether.
