Correct one coding style problem(detected by checkpatch.pl) in pcl818.c.
- code indent should use tabs where possible
It is fixed by reformatting the comment block to usual comment style.

-Status: works

-All cards have 16 SE/8 DIFF ADCs, one or two DACs, 16 DI and 16 DO.
-Differences are only at maximal sample speed, range list and FIFO
-support.
-The driver support AI mode 0, 1, 3 other subdevices (AO, DI, DO) support
-only mode 0. If DMA/FIFO/INT are disabled then AI support only mode 0.
-PCL-818HD and PCL-818HG support 1kword FIFO. Driver support this FIFO
-but this code is untested.
-A word or two about DMA. Driver support DMA operations at two ways:
-1) DMA uses two buffers and after one is filled then is generated
- INT and DMA restart with second buffer. With this mode I'm unable run
- more that 80Ksamples/secs without data dropouts on K6/233.
-2) DMA uses one buffer and run in autoinit mode and the data are
- from DMA buffer moved on the fly with 2kHz interrupts from RTC.
- This mode is used if the interrupt 8 is available for allocation.
- If not, then first DMA mode is used. With this I can run at
- full speed one card (100ksamples/secs) or two cards with
- 60ksamples/secs each (more is problem on account of ISA limitations).
- To use this mode you must have compiled kernel with disabled
- "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support".
- Maybe you can have problems if you use xntpd or similar.
- If you've data dropouts with DMA mode 2 then:
- a) disable IDE DMA
- b) switch text mode console to fb.

It shouldn't have a completely blank line there, it should either be plugged up with a ' *' at the start, or the comment should be split into two at that point.

Actually, most of the above part of the comment is pretty superfluous as the information is effectively repeated in the part below. You could remove all but the "file location" line.

Since you're reformatting this anyway, it would be better if all the stuff below this point was shifted two spaces to the left as there is no logical need for extra indentation here. Also, if you can expand any tabs below, you can drop your patch 3.
