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.

TODO-list: 2014-06-13: dgap: make dgap_found_board() return a brd pointer.

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.
