I don't like the way the current code uses dgap_numboards and hiding
the ++ in here makes it even worse.

My thinking is that dgap_found_board() shouldn't touch dgap_board[] but
instead of instead it should return a pointer to "brd".  Then the code
in dgap_init_one() does:

	brd = dgap_found_board();
	if (!brd)
		return -ENODEV;

	/* code until the end of the function */

	dgap_board[dgap_numboards++] = brd;
	return 0;

tty_free:
	/* error path */

This could be done in a follow on patch.

This isn't complete.  We need a dgap_unfound_board() which frees brd
and calls the inverse of dgap_do_remap().  Obviously "found" and
"unfound" are not the smartest names in the universe.

That said, I'm inclined to say that we can fix this up in a later patch.
This patch is clearly an improvement on the existing code and I'm not
sure it's possible to fix *everything* in one go.
