This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: cb_pcidas: Allow 2-channel commands for AO subdevice
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-linus 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 hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: comedi: cb_pcidas: Allow 2-channel commands for AO subdevice
The "cb_pcidas" driver supports asynchronous commands on the analog
output (AO) subdevice for those boards that have an AO FIFO. The code
(in `cb_pcidas_ao_check_chanlist()` and `cb_pcidas_ao_cmd()`) to
validate and set up the command supports output to a single channel or
to two channels simultaneously (the boards have two AO channels).
However, the code in `cb_pcidas_auto_attach()` that initializes the
subdevices neglects to initialize the AO subdevice's `len_chanlist`
member, leaving it set to 0, but the Comedi core will "correct" it to 1
if the driver neglected to set it. This limits commands to use a single
channel (either channel 0 or 1), but the limit should be two channels.
Set the AO subdevice's `len_chanlist` member to be the same value as the
`n_chan` member, which will be 2.
