You guys have taken some unused code and made it more and more flexible. I think you should just delete the parameter. When you need a parameter, then we can add it back. If you need two parameters then we can add two of them.
The one current driver that might have a use for it is the vmk80xx driver. That one has `driver_info` values in its USB device table, but the driver currently uses that in its USB probe routine to allocate and initialize a load of stuff before it calls comedi_usb_auto_config(). If the driver was changed to remove the manual attachment functionality (the `attach` handler), I think all that stuff could be moved to the `auto_attach` handler, in which case setting the context parameter to the `driver_info` value would be useful.
