This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: kpc2000: prevent underflow in cpld_reconfigure()
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: kpc2000: prevent underflow in cpld_reconfigure()
This function should not allow negative values of "wr_val". If
negatives are allowed then capping the upper bound at 7 is
meaningless. Let's make it unsigned.
