Dan,

What Walter mentioned also makes sense, So shouldn't it be something
like this:

[amit@localhost linux-next]$ git diff
diff --git a/drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/pcl812.c
b/drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/pcl812.c

+ devpriv->ai_dma = 0;
if (devpriv->dma) { /* check if we can use DMA transfer */
devpriv->ai_dma = 1;
for (i = 1; i < cmd->chanlist_len; i++)
if (cmd->chanlist[0] != cmd->chanlist[i]) {
/* we cann't use DMA :-( */

break;
}
- } else
- devpriv->ai_dma = 0;

devpriv->ai_act_scan = 0;
devpriv->ai_poll_ptr = 0;


Thanks,
Kumar
