staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: add finite regeneration to dio output
This patch continues the implementation of reinterpreting stop_arg when stop_src == TRIG_NONE for national instruments cdio output on e/m-series devices. This is part of a series of patches that allow a user to have a specific buffer repeated as-is indefinitely. The contents of the DMA buffer can be left static or changed by the user via mmap access to the DMA buffer. If the contents are changed by the user, additional munging is not performed by the driver and only a single call to comedi_mark_buffer_written should be done. The original behavior is preserved when stop_arg == 0, as would be the prior use case. As opposed to analog output, this patch is relatively simple. First, the digital output capabilities are much more limited/simple as compared to the analog output device on NI e/m-series hardware, and second, this patch relies on changes made with the earlier patch to accomplish limiting the DMA buffer transfer.
