That seems fine, thanks.  The lines being removed appear to have been 
copy and pasted from dyna_pci10xx_insn_read_ai().  The AO subdevice 
supports a single range, so no 'range' code is needed.  I believe the 
card has only one analog output channel[*], so the 'chan' is irrelevant. 
  This means the 'n_chans' value in the AO subdevice configuration is 
incorrect.  I'll send a follow-up patch to correct that after Greg KH 
takes this one.

[*] Very little information seems to be available about this card 
online.  It is no longer listed on the manufacturer's web-site and I 
couldn't find any archives on archive.org.  I found part of a scientific 
paper
<http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/150646/15/15_chapter%205.pdf>
which describes the card as having a single channel D/A converter.
