Ok, real minor nits here, but I'd like you to make them for future
patches as it makes my life easier, and I don't like to edit patches by
hand, as I don't scale very well.

Your subject should be:
	[PATCH] staging: comedi: das1800: fix for * bar to be foo *bar

you need to add the driver subsystem, and specific area and driver.  And
no kernel drivers are ALL CAPS, so that should never be used.

I've taken this patch as-is, but in the future please try to do this.
