This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: dt282x: fix a 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: dt282x: fix a null pointer deref on interrupt
The interrupt handler `dt282x_interrupt()` causes a null pointer
dereference for those supported boards that have no analog output
support. For these boards, `dev->write_subdev` will be `NULL` and
therefore the `s_ao` subdevice pointer variable will be `NULL`. In that
case, the following call near the end of the interrupt handler results
in a null pointer dereference:
comedi_handle_events(dev, s_ao);
Fix it by only calling the above function if `s_ao` is valid.
(There are other uses of `s_ao` by the interrupt handler that may or may
not be reached depending on values of hardware registers. Trust that
they are reliable for now.)
Note:
commit 4f6f009b204f ("staging: comedi: dt282x: use comedi_handle_events()")
propagates an earlier error from
commit f21c74fa4cfe ("staging: comedi: dt282x: use cfc_handle_events()").
Fixes: 4f6f009b204f ("staging: comedi: dt282x: use comedi_handle_events()")
