This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: das800: Fix endian problem for AI command data
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: comedi: das800: Fix endian problem for AI command data
The analog input subdevice supports Comedi asynchronous commands that
use Comedi's 16-bit sample format. However, the call to
`comedi_buf_write_samples()` is passing the address of a 32-bit integer
variable. On bigendian machines, this will copy 2 bytes from the wrong
end of the 32-bit value. Fix it by changing the type of the variable
holding the sample value to `unsigned short`.
