This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: comedi: me4000: 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.

The analog input subdevice supports Comedi asynchronous commands that use Comedi's 16-bit sample format. However, the calls to `comedi_buf_write_samples()` are 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`.
