I would argue that the comedi_board() inline is a bit cleaner.

But, since all the goofy macros and private boardinfo access functions in
the drivers have been removed I guess this can go now. We will need
to make that sure any new drivers don't introduce new goofy macros
or access functions. The 'board(dev)->foo' ones really made the drivers
hard to read...
