This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: amplc_pci230: fix null pointer deref on interrupt
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: amplc_pci230: fix null pointer deref on interrupt
The interrupt handler `pci230_interrupt()` causes a null pointer
dereference for a PCI260 card. There is no analog output subdevice for
a PCI260. The `dev->write_subdev` subdevice pointer and therefore the
`s_ao` subdevice pointer variable will be `NULL` for a PCI260. The
following call near the end of the interrupt handler results in the null
pointer dereference for a PCI260:
comedi_handle_events(dev, s_ao);
Fix it by only calling the above function if `s_ao` is valid.
Note that the other uses of `s_ao` in the calls
`pci230_handle_ao_nofifo(dev, s_ao);` and `pci230_handle_ao_fifo(dev,
s_ao);` will never be reached for a PCI260, so they are safe.
