Subject: staging: comedi: das1800: fix possible NULL dereference

From: H Hartley Sweeten <hsweeten@visionengravers.com>

commit d375278d666760e195693b57415ba0a125cadd55 upstream.

DMA is optional with this driver. If it was not enabled the devpriv->dma
pointer will be NULL.

Fix the possible NULL pointer dereference when trying to disable the DMA
channels in das1800_ai_cancel() and tidy up the comments to fix the
checkpatch.pl issues:
WARNING: line over 80 characters

It's probably harmless in das1800_ai_setup_dma() because the 'desc' pointer
will not be used if DMA is disabled but fix it there also.
