staging: comedi: usbduxfast: document strange ai maxdata
The subdevice 'maxdata' is typically a mask of the valid bits that can be returned by a subdevice, (1 << bits) - 1. The analog inputs of this device have a resolution of 12-bits so the 'maxdata' should be 0x0fff. But, this hardware can produce a value of 0x1000 indicating an overflow from the ADC. The comedilib library's comedi_to_phys() function will then return NAN when this value is read from the hardware. Add a comment to clarify the strage 'maxdata' value.
