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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
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.
