NAK.  This leaves devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan] unchanged.

Thanks for pointing this out. In that case will assigning the variable to
devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan] be acceptable? Please review below snippet.

Otherwise I'll just drop the variable and adjust the lines to avoid
checkpatch warning.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

[ Snip ]

			/* output the last scan */
			for (i = 0; i < cmd->scan_end_arg; i++) {
				unsigned int chan = CR_CHAN(cmd->chanlist[i]);
				unsigned short data;

				if (!comedi_buf_read_samples(s, &data, 1)) {
					/* unexpected underrun! (cancelled?) */
					async->events |= COMEDI_CB_OVERFLOW;
					goto underrun;
				}

				devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan] = data;
			}
			/* advance time of last scan */

[ Snip ]

It will work, but you could just use a pointer variable set to 
&devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan] and pass that to comedi_buf_read_samples().

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried below snippet 1 with the shortest pointer
name but 80 characters is exceeded. The declaration and initialisation
will have to be splitted. Will this be acceptable or am I doing it wrong
again?

Sorry for the trouble.

Snippet 1:
[ Snip ]

			/* output the last scan */
			for (i = 0; i < cmd->scan_end_arg; i++) {
				unsigned int chan = CR_CHAN(cmd->chanlist[i]);
				unsigned short *p = &devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan];

				if (!comedi_buf_read_samples(s, p, 1)) {
					/* unexpected underrun! (cancelled?) */
					async->events |= COMEDI_CB_OVERFLOW;
					goto underrun;
				}
			}
			/* advance time of last scan */

[ Snip ]

Snippet 2:
[ Snip ]

			/* output the last scan */
			for (i = 0; i < cmd->scan_end_arg; i++) {
				unsigned int chan = CR_CHAN(cmd->chanlist[i]);
				unsigned short *pd;

				pd = &devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan];

				if (!comedi_buf_read_samples(s, pd, 1)) {
					/* unexpected underrun! (cancelled?) */
					async->events |= COMEDI_CB_OVERFLOW;
					goto underrun;
				}
			}

[ Snip ]

Snippet 2 looks fine.  Alternatives are to modify Snippet 1 to split the 
initialization of the pointer variable after the '=', or to shorten the 
the name of the 'chan' variable.

Another option could be using the typedefs from include/linux/types.h,
e.g. ushort.  However, this might require changing other declarations as
well to keep consistency.

I'm tempted to shorten the 'chan' variable but this will break consistency
since it's also use in static int waveform_ai_insn_read() and
static int waveform_ao_insn_write(). I'll send Snippet 2 as V2.

Thanks for the idea. I counted seven instances of 'unsigned short'
in this file so it's not viable for our situation.

Thks.

I believe using ushort is relatively undesirable as
"unsigned short" is preferred ~10:1 in the kernel

$ git grep -w ushort | wc -l
1381
$ git grep -E "\bunsigned\s+short\b" | wc -l
11288

$ git grep --name-only -w "ushort" | wc -l
129
$ git grep --name-only -E "\bunsigned\s+short\b" | wc -l
2497

Wow, that is suprising to me considering the 80 character limit.  Thanks
for pointing this out!
