Hi Damian.

This isn't an improvement.

It'd be better as:

static inline enum Gi_Counting_Mode_Reg_Bits
Gi_Alternate_Sync_Bit(enum ni_gpct_variant variant)

And this is just plain ugly.

How about:

struct ni_gpct_device *
ni_gpct_device_construct(struct comedi_device *dev,
			 void (*write_register)(struct ni_gpct *counter,
						unsigned bit,
						enum ni_gpct_register reg),
			 unsigned (*read__register)(struct ni_gpct *counter,
						    enum ni_gpct_variant variant,
						    unsigned num_counters))

Please try to use some taste in ignoring checkpatch output
when appropriate.  80 columns isn't dicta.

cheers, Joe
