[PATCH 04/14] staging: comedi: das6402: Fix endian problem for AI command data

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk>
Date: 2021-02-23 14:42:13
Subsystem: staging subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

The analog input subdevice supports Comedi asynchronous commands that
use Comedi's 16-bit sample format.  However, the call to
`comedi_buf_write_samples()` is passing the address of a 32-bit integer
variable.  On bigendian machines, this will copy 2 bytes from the wrong
end of the 32-bit value.  Fix it by changing the type of the variable
holding the sample value to `unsigned short`.

Fixes: d1d24cb65ee3 ("staging: comedi: das6402: read analog input samples in interrupt handler")
