This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: fix minimum AO period for NI 625x and NI 628x
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

The minimum period was set to 357 ns, while the divider for these boards is 50
ns. This prevented to output at maximum speed as ni_ao_cmdtest() would return
357 but would not accept it.
Not sure why it was set to 357 ns (this was done before the git history,
which starts 5 years ago). My guess is that it comes from reading the
specification stating a 2.8 MHz rate (~ 357 ns). The latest
specification states a 2.86 MHz rate (~ 350 ns), which makes a lot
more sense.
Tested on a pci-6251.
