This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: addi_apci_1032: Fix endian problem for COS sample
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_1032: Fix endian problem for COS sample
The Change-Of-State (COS) subdevice supports Comedi asynchronous
commands to read 16-bit change-of-state values. However, the interrupt
handler is calling `comedi_buf_write_samples()` with the address of a
32-bit integer `&s->state`. On bigendian architectures, it will copy 2
bytes from the wrong end of the 32-bit integer. Fix it by transferring
the value via a 16-bit integer.
Fixes: 6bb45f2b0c86 ("staging: comedi: addi_apci_1032: use comedi_buf_write_samples()")
