This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: don't dereference user memory for INSN_INTTRIG
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Subject: staging: comedi: don't dereference user memory for INSN_INTTRIG
`parse_insn()` is dereferencing the user-space pointer `insn->data`
directly when handling the `INSN_INTTRIG` comedi instruction. It
shouldn't be using `insn->data` at all; it should be using the separate
`data` pointer passed to the function. Fix it.
