It sounds like you should have separate subdevices.  I don't know any 
details about your board, but from what you've been saying on the list I'm 
guessing it supports some kind of daughterboards that can be of various 
varieties?  If that is the case, your driver should either probe the 
daughterboard types in the attach and create the appropriate type of 
subdevices, or take parameters from comedi_config that specify what kinds 
of daughterboards are being used.
