staging: comedi: ni_routing: Add NI signal routing info See README for a thorough discussion of this content. Adds tables of all register values for routing various signals to various terminals on National Instruments hardware. This information is directly compared to and taken from register-level programming documentation and/or register-level programming examples as provided by National Instruments. Furthermore, this information was mostly compared (favorably) to the register values already used in the comedi drivers for NI hardware. Adds tables of valid routes for many devices. This information is not consistent from device to device, nor entirely consistent within device families. One additional major challenge is that this information does not seem to be obtainable in any programmatic fashion, neither through the proprietary NIDAQmx(-base) c-libraries, nor with register level programming, _nor_ through any documentation. In fact, the only consistent source of this information is through the proprietary NI-MAX software, which currently only runs on Windows platforms. A further challenge is that this information cannot be exported from NI-MAX, except by screenshot. The collection and maintenance of this information is somewhat tedious and requires frequent re-examination and comparison of NI-MAX and/or the NI-MHDDK documentation (register programming information) and NI-MHDDK examples. Tools are added with this patch to facilitate generating CSV files from the data tables. These CSV files can be used with a spreadsheet program to provide better visual comparision with screenshots gathered from NI-MAX. Tools are also added to regenerate the data tables from CSV content--this greatly enhances updating data tables with large changes (such as when adding devices). Signed-off-by: Spencer E.
