Subject: staging: comedi: das800: Fix endian problem for AI command data
From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 459b1e8c8fe97fcba0bd1b623471713dce2c5eaf upstream.
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`.
