Subject: staging: comedi: mf6x4: Fix AI end-of-conversion detection

I have had reports from two different people that attempts to read the analog input channels of the MF624 board fail with an ETIMEDOUT error.

After triggering the conversion, the code calls comedi_timeout() with mf6x4_ai_eoc() as the callback function to check if the conversion is complete. The callback returns 0 if complete or -EBUSY if not yet complete. comedi_timeout() returns -ETIMEDOUT if it has not completed within a timeout period which is propagated as an error to the user application.

The existing code considers the conversion to be complete when the EOLC bit is high. However, according to the user manuals for the MF624 and MF634 boards, this test is incorrect because EOLC is an active low signal that goes high when the conversion is triggered, and goes low when the conversion is complete. Fix the problem by inverting the test of the EOLC bit state.
