staging: comedi: kcomedilib: fix a __user space access issue
The 'data' field in struct comedi_insn is an unsigned int __user *. The comedi core copies this data to kernel space before passing it on to a drivers insn_bits/insn_config method. kcomedilib provides an interface for external kernel modules to use the comedi drivers. This interface creates a comedi_insn that is then passed to the comedi drivers insn_bits/insn_config method. Unfortunately, kcomedilib is using the comedi_insn 'data' field directly which results in some sparse warnings: warning: incorrect type in argument 4 (different address spaces) expected unsigned int *<noident> got unsigned int [noderef] <asn:1>*data warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) expected unsigned int [noderef] <asn:1>*[addressable] [assigned] data got unsigned int *<noident> Fix this by passing the kernel data directly, as a separate parameter, instead of trying to put in into the comedi_insn 'data' field. This is how the comedi core handles the data from user space.
