My first patch - patch for adl_pci9118.c

My first patch - patch for adl_pci9118.c

[Fabian Baumanis]

Hi there,

this morning i created my first patch for the Linux kernel.
It fixes a style issue which was reported by using checkpatch.pl on 
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/adl_pci9118.c

Although it's a very small patch, i hope this is useful.
My question now is: how can i submit the patch to the developers?

Best regards and have a nice weekend,
Fabian

Have you built the code with your change applied?  Always do that first
:)
