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`.
