Encoders are not a "normal" subdevice in comedi. For aesthetics, tidy
up this function and add a couple comments to clarify the function.

Remove the strange munging of the data. The encoder data is decoded
in quadrature and used to increment or decrement a 24-bit counter.
Adding 0x800000 to the counter value doesn't make any sense.
