Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: remove thisboard macro in the ssv_dnp driver

The 'thisboard' macro depends on having a local variable with
a magic name. The CodingStyle document suggests not doing this
to avoid confusion. Remove the macro and use the comedi_board()
inline helper to get the dev->board_ptr information.
