Some of the header files in "drivers/comedi/drivers/" are common enough
to be useful to out-of-tree comedi driver modules. Using them for
out-of-tree module builds is hampered by the headers being outside the
"include/" directory so it is desirable to move them.
There are about a couple of dozen or so Comedi device drivers that use
the "comedi_8254" module to add timers based on the venerable 8254
Programmable Interval Timer chip. The macros and declarations to use
that module are in the "comedi_8254.h" header file in the comedi
"drivers" directory. Move it into "include/linux/comedi/".

Move the main COMEDI driver headers out of "drivers/comedi/" into new
directory "include/linux/comedi/". These are "comedidev.h",
"comedilib.h", "comedi_pci.h", "comedi_pcmcia.h", and "comedi_usb.h".
Additionally, move the user-space API header "comedi.h" into
"include/uapi/linux/" and add "WITH Linux-syscall-note" to its
SPDX-License-Identifier.
Update the "COMEDI DRIVERS" section of the MAINTAINERS file to account
for these changes.

The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its
lifetime to much much earlier. It's been polished and buffed and
there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real"
portion of the kernel.
So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there.
Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this
happen.
