Ian Abbott 2c1ea26a28 staging: comedi: dmm32at: Fix endian problem for AI command data
commit 54999c0d94 upstream.

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`.

[Note: the bug was introduced in commit 1700529b24 ("staging: comedi:
dmm32at: use comedi_buf_write_samples()") but the patch applies better
to the later (but in the same kernel release) commit 0c0eadadcb
("staging: comedi: dmm32at: introduce dmm32_ai_get_sample()").]

Fixes: 0c0eadadcb ("staging: comedi: dmm32at: introduce dmm32_ai_get_sample()")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
