staging: comedi: comedi_8255: new module split from 8255
The Comedi "8255" module is both a standalone Comedi device driver module for simple devices with one or more 8255 "Programmable Peripheral Interface" chips at known I/O base addresses (configured at run-time), and a helper module to configure a 8255-based digital I/O subdevice for other Comedi drivers. Split the "8255 subdevice helper" functionality into a new module: "comedi_8255", leaving the standalone 8255 Comedi driver in the "8255" module. The Comedi "detach" routine of the standalone "8255" driver needs to retrieve the I/O base address passed to the "comedi_8255" module to set up each subdevice in order to release the I/O port regions it requested in its "attach" routine. The "comedi_8255" module stores it in a "subdevice private" data structure that is no longer known to the "8255" module, so add a new, exported function `subdev_8255_regbase()` to retrieve it.
