comedi: 8255: Add some I/O base address sanity checks
The "8255" driver allows a COMEDI device to be constructed from one or more 8255 chips, each at an I/O port base address specified by the admin-supplied configuration options (`it->options[]`). Currently, the driver allows any I/O base addresses to be specified as long as the I/O regions can be reserved, and it converts the specified `int` option values holding the base address to `unsigned long`. It doesn't make sense to allow base addresses that are not aligned to 4-byte boundaries because the hardware register addresses would not be decoded properly, so add a check for valid alignment. Convert the option values that specify the base addresses from `int` to `unsigned int` instead of `unsigned long` so they end up the same on 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
