The comedi_parport driver has an "interrupt" subdevice that supports Comedi asynchronous commands, placing a value in the Comedi buffer for each interrupt. The subdevice uses Comedi's 16-bit sample format but the interrupt handler is calling `comedi_buf_write_samples()` with the address of a 32-bit integer `&s->state`. On bigendian machines, this will copy 2 bytes from the wrong end of the 32-bit integer. This isn't really a problem since `s->state` will always be 0 for this subdevice, but clean it up by using a 16-bit variable initialized to 0 to pass the value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
