Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: Fix incorrect type assignment
Date: Wed,  8 Feb 2017 00:36:27 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170207190627.4403-1-Karthik.188@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch fixes the following sparse error:
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32:    expected restricted __be32 [usertype] serial_number
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32:    got unsigned int

This is done by introducing a temporary variable which is of type
'__be32' and converting the existing variable to type 'unsigned int'.
