I guess this is patch is a replacement for your earlier
"[PATCH 1/4] Staging: comedi: Fix WARNING issue in s626.c". The usual 
practice is to keep the same patch numbering and to add a "v2" like 
this: "[PATCH v2 1/4] Staging: comedi: Fix WARNING issue in s626.c". 
Then add a comment below the "---" line describing what has changed in 
version 2 of the patch. Remember that Greg and the other higher up 
maintainers have to sift through hundreds (or at least a large number) 
of patches a day, so the easier you make it for them, the better.

There's something weird going on above.  In addition to reformatting the 
comments, it's also replacing the type descriptors of some of the 
members (using `u32` instead of `uint32_t` etc.).  It looks like bits of 
the patches from your earlier series have crept into this one.
