commitb2e78630f7upstream. The analog input subdevice supports Comedi asynchronous commands that use Comedi's 16-bit sample format. However, the calls to `comedi_buf_write_samples()` are 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 variables holding the sample value to `unsigned short`. The type of the `val` parameter of `pci1710_ai_read_sample()` is changed to `unsigned short *` accordingly. The type of the `val` variable in `pci1710_ai_insn_read()` is also changed to `unsigned short` since its address is passed to `pci1710_ai_read_sample()`.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
