staging: comedi: pcmda12: cleanup pcmda12_ao_insn_read()

Remove the boilerplate comment from the 'skel' driver.

To initiate the simultaneaous transfer, only one analog output
register needs to be read. Move the read out of the for() loop.

(*insn_read) functions should return an errno or the number of
samples actually read. Change the final return to insn->n to
make this clear.

-/* AO subdevices should have a read insn as well as a write insn.
-
-   Usually this means copying a value stored in devpriv->ao_readback.
-   However, since this driver supports simultaneous xfer then sometimes
-   this function actually accomplishes work.
-
-   Simultaneaous xfer mode is accomplished by loading ALL the values
-   you want for AO in all the channels, then READing off one of the AO
-   registers to initiate the instantaneous simultaneous update of all
-   DAC outputs, which makes all AO channels update simultaneously.
-   This is useful for some control applications, I would imagine.
