Subject: staging: comedi: non working tests on unsigned cmd->convert_arg

vi drivers/staging/comedi/comedi.h +342

and note that cmd->convert_arg in s626_ai_cmdtest() is unsigned. Should there
maybe be a test:

if (cmd->convert_src == TRIG_EXT && cmd->convert_arg > MAX)

(and what should MAX be then?)

Otherwise you may want to apply the cleanup patch below
