From 3de00ee4ce6a61ce7b72fd50a8af47957a7b53a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 20:45:59 +0000 Subject: staging: comedi: s626: fix value written by s626_set_dac() I broke `s626_set_dac()` by changing the type of the `dacdata` parameter from `short` to `unsigned short`. It's actually designed to take a signed value in the range -0x1fff to +0x2000 although values above 0x1fff get clamped to 0x1fff. (We could change the `maxdata` value to 0x1ffe to avoid the clamping, but `maxdata` values are usually a power of 2 minus 1.) The bug results in all negative values passed to the function being changed to +0x1fff by the clamp. Change the parameter type to `int16_t` to fix the problem.
