This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: das1800: fix possible NULL dereference
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-testing 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 be merged to the staging-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: comedi: das1800: fix possible NULL dereference
DMA is optional with this driver. If it was not enabled the devpriv->dma
pointer will be NULL.
Fix the possible NULL pointer dereference when trying to disable the DMA
channels in das1800_ai_cancel() and tidy up the comments to fix the
checkpatch.pl issues:
WARNING: line over 80 characters
It's probably harmless in das1800_ai_setup_dma() because the 'desc' pointer
will not be used if DMA is disabled but fix it there also.
Fixes: 99dfc3357e98 ("staging: comedi: das1800: remove depends on ISA_DMA_API limitation")
