This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: addi_apci_1500: Fix endian problem for command
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: addi_apci_1500: Fix endian problem for command
sample
The digital input subdevice supports Comedi asynchronous commands that
read interrupt status information. This uses 16-bit Comedi samples (of
which only the bottom 8 bits contain status information). However, the
interrupt handler is calling `comedi_buf_write_samples()` with the
address of a 32-bit variable `unsigned int status`. On a bigendian
machine, this will copy 2 bytes from the wrong end of the variable. Fix
it by changing the type of the variable to `unsigned short`.
Fixes: a8c66b684efa ("staging: comedi: addi_apci_1500: rewrite the subdevice support functions")
