NAK.  This leaves devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan] unchanged.


Thanks for pointing this out. In that case will assigning the variable to
devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan] be acceptable? Please review below snippet.

Otherwise I'll just drop the variable and adjust the lines to avoid
checkpatch warning.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

It will work, but you could just use a pointer variable set to &devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan] and pass that to comedi_buf_read_samples().
