This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: addi_apci_1500: Fix endian problem for command
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.

From: Ian Abbott abbotti@mev.co.uk Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 14:30:43 +0000 Subject: staging: comedi: addi_apci_1500: Fix endian problem for command sample
The digital input subdevice supports Comedi asynchronous commands that read interrupt status information. This uses 16-bit Comedi samples (of which only the bottom 8 bits contain status information). However, the interrupt handler is calling `comedi_buf_write_samples()` with the address of a 32-bit variable `unsigned int status`. On a bigendian machine, this will copy 2 bytes from the wrong end of the variable. Fix it by changing the type of the variable to `unsigned short`.
