Subject: [PATCH 18/46] comedi: dmm32at: Add sanity check for I/O base address

The "dmm32at" driver uses an admin-supplied configuration option
(`it->options[0]`) to configure the I/O port base address of a
Diamond-MM-32-AT board.  It currently allows any base address to be
configured but the hardware only supports 8 possible base addresses
(selected by 3 on-board jumpers).  These are 0x100, 0x140, 0x180, 0x200,
0x280, 0x300, 0x340, and 0x380.

Add a sanity check to ensure the device is not configured at an
unsupported base address.
